Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in pancreas, liver and kidney. Expressed abundantly in insulin- containing beta cells, undetectable in other endocrine cell types including glucagon-secreting alpha cells and most acinar cells.
Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Perimeter of granules, localizes to the brush border membrane of the enterocyte. Concentrated in early compartments of the secretory pathway such as COPII-coated vesicles.
