Highly expressed in testis, prostate, spleen, thymus, ovary and brain. Detected at lower levels in heart, placenta, small intestine, colon, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Not detectable in primary tumors from breast and prostate and in many cancer cell lines.
Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Cell projection, dendritic spine. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density. Cell junction, synapse. Associated with the plasma membrane and with microtubules. Detected in dendritic spines, especially in the postsynaptic density (By similarity).
