Broadly expressed in different tissues, but high in B- and T-lymphocytes. In brain, expression is restricted to amygdala and frontal cortex.
Cytoplasm. Membrane; Lipid-anchor. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Lipid-anchor. In resting cells, localizes to intracellular membranes and cytoplasm. Translocates from the cytoplasm to intracellular membranes upon oxidative stress.
