Present only in vascular endothelium in non- neoplastic regions of the brain, whereas it is present in tumor cells but not in proliferating blood vessels in malignant gliomas.
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Melanosome. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. In spermatozoa, localized on the principal piece of caput and in the middle piece during transit in the corpus and cauda epididymides (By similarity).
