Highest expression in the heart, placenta, lung, foreskin and lymph node. Prominently expressed on high endothelial venules, also present on the endothelia of other vessels. Localized to the intercellular boundaries of high endothelial cells.
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction. Cell junction, tight junction. Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells (By similarity). Specifically localized within the somatodendritic compartment of neurons and excluded from the axon (By similarity).
