Expressed in peritoneal cavity macrophages and in peritoneal and bone marrow-derived neutrophils. Abundantly expressed in bone marrow, with moderate levels detected in gastric antrum, spleen and in alveolar macrophages in lung. Not detected in brain, heart, liver, kidney, stomach, intestine, skeletal muscle, ovary, testis, thymus and lymph nodes (at protein level). Detected at low levels in bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lung. Barely detectable in intestine, kidney and coecum.
