Expressed exclusively in tissues containing a high content of terminally differentiated epithelial cells including mammary gland, colon, trachea, kidney, prostate, uterus, stomach and skin.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Localizes to the cytoplasm where it has been shown to transform MCF-12A mammary epithelial cells via a novel cytoplasmic mechanism. Also transiently expressed and localized to the nucleus where it induces apoptosis in non-transformed breast epithelial cells MCF-10A and MCF-12A via a transcription-dependent mechanism.
