Highly expressed in uterus. Moderately expressed in heart, liver, prostate, testis and ovary. Weakly expressed in skeletal muscle, kidney, spleen, small intestine and colon. Expressed in the secretory epithelial cells of uterine endometrium, fallopian tubes, endocervical glands, bladder and prostate, as well as the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder, and in bone osteoblasts (at protein level). In normal cartilage, expression was confined in a few chondrocytes in the superficial zone as well as in the middle zone. In diseased cartilage coming from osteoarthritic patients, expression was limited to the middle zone of chondrocytes. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in fetal cerebellum and heart, while only isoform 2 is detected in fetal spleen. Isoform 2 present in plasma.
[Isoform 1]: Secreted.; [Isoform 2]: Secreted.; [Isoform 3]: Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 4]: Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 5]: Cytoplasm.
