Facts about Sialin.
Also functions as an electrogenic 2NO(3)(-)/H(+) cotransporter in the plasma membrane of adrenal gland acinar cells, mediating the physiological nitrate efflux, 25 percent of the circulating nitrate ions is normally removed and secreted in saliva. .

Found in fetal lung and small intestine, and at lower level in fetal skin and muscle. In the adult, detected in placenta, kidney and pancreas. Abundant in the endothelial cells of tumors from ovary, colon, breast and lung, but is not detected in endothelial cells from the corresponding normal tissues.
