Highly expressed in striated muscles. Weakly expressed in thyroid, fetal brain, fetal lung, retina, spinal cord and bone marrow. Not expressed in testis, pancreas, adrenal gland, placenta, liver and kidney.
Cytoplasm. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line. A small amount localizes at membranes. In striated muscle cells, it predominantly localizes in myofibrillar Z lines, while a minor fraction localizes with subsarcolemme. Targeting to developing and mature Z lines is mediated by the intradomain insert.
