Broadly expressed with highest expression in heart.
Lysosome. Secreted. Secretion is extremely low and localization to lysosomes is mannose-6-phosphate receptor-dependent.; [Isoform 2]: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. A localization to the nucleus and the cytoplasm has also been reported for ASAH1, most probably for isoforms devoid of a signal peptide.
