Detected in airway epithelia (trachea and lung) and in bronchoalveolar fluid (at protein level). Upper airways, nasopharyngeal epithelium and thymus. Highest expression in the trachea and progressive decrease from proximal (bronchial) to distal (bronchiolar) airways. No expression is detected in the terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles or lung alveoli.
