Up-regulated in various cancer cells, including in glioblastoma multiforme. Expressed in many melanoma cells, as well as in tissue macrophages, including liver Kuppfer cells and lung alveolar macrophages, in podocytes and in some cells of the ciliary body of the eye (at protein level). Hardly detectable in healthy brain.
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Melanosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.
