Highly expressed in kidney, moderately in placenta, lung, prostate, liver, and digestive system. In the kidney, localized in the proximal tubules but not in the glomerulus or distal tubules. Detected in most of the male urogenital tract epithelia, with the exception of epididymis.
Secreted. Apical cell membrane. Basolateral cell membrane. Cell projection, microvillus membrane.
