Expressed in many tissues with much higher expression in retina. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in adipose tissue, whereas isoform 1 only seems to be present in thymus, and isoform 2 only in testis.
[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Present on the surface of the cells.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Either not translocated to the plasma membrane or below detection level.
