Isoform 1 is highly expressed in testis. Isoform 2 is expressed at low levels in skin and blood.
Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome inner membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, acrosome outer membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. In the anterior acrosome region, enriched on the inner acrosomal membrane but minimal on the outer acrosomal membrane; in contrast in the posterior acrosome region enriched on both the inner and outer acrosomal membranes.
