High expression in skeletal muscle and heart. Low expression in brain, pancreas, liver, kidney and lung. Not detected in placenta.
Cell membrane, sarcolemma; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. In skeletal muscle, it localizes at the cytoplasmic side of the sarcolemmal membrane and at neuromuscular junctions.
