Detected in myelinating Schwann cells in intramuscular nerves in triangularis sterni (PubMed:18205176). Detected in sciatic nerve (PubMed:11430802). Detected in eye lens fiber cells (PubMed:21745462). Isoform 1 is detected in myelinating Schwann cells in sciatic nerve (PubMed:9488714, PubMed:10671475, PubMed:10839370). Isoform 2 is detected in myelinating Schwann cells in sciatic nerve (at protein level) (PubMed:9488714, PubMed:10839370). Detected in sciatic nerve (PubMed:9488714, PubMed:10839370).
