Widely expressed (PubMed:11735225). Expressed at higher level in macrophages (PubMed:17991739).
[Isoform 1]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Nucleus membrane. The presence of the N-terminus extension contains an overall negative charge that may explain the weak localization to the cortical endoplasmic reticulum (Probable).; [Isoform 3]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Localizes to the cortical endoplasmic reticulum at the endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites.
