Expressed at high levels in erythrocytes and testis (in Sertoli cells), and, at lower levels, in skeletal muscle, tonsils (in follicular dendritic cells), lymph node, spleen and appendix (at protein level). Also expressed in many adult and fetal nonerythroid tissues, including brain, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow.
Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Spans the erythrocyte membrane, and is attached to the underlying cytoskeleton.
