Present at high levels in ileum. In ileum, it is restricted to the apical domain on the mature villus enterocytes with little detectable expression in the goblet cells or crypt enterocytes (at protein level). Expressed in kidney but not in heart, brain, liver, spleen, embryo, lung, thymus, ovary nor testis.
