[Isoform 1]: Endoplasmic reticulum lumen . Secreted .; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm . Diffuse granular localization in the cytoplasm surrounding the nucleus (PubMed:11350957).
Widely expressed with highest levels in adult brain, small intestine and lymphoid tissues such as thymus and spleen. Expression is frequently lower in intestinal-type gastric cancer. In obese patients, more abundant in omental than in subcutaneous fat.
