Tissue specificity:Widely expressed (at protein level) (PubMed:18366072). Highly expressed in brain where it localizes to the glia limitans, which is formed by the endfeet of astrocytes surrounding capillaries, and beneath the pia mater (at protein level) (PubMed:14603461). In lung, detected in epithelial cells of the bronchus (at protein level). Expressed in intercalated disks in the heart (at protein level) (PubMed:18366072). Detected in pancreatic alpha-cells in the islet of Langerhans (at protein level) (PubMed:18366072). In kidney, found in the brush border of the proximal convoluted tubule (at protein level) (PubMed:18366072). Expressed in the epithelium of the small intestine (at protein level) (PubMed:18366072). Weakly expressed in liver (at protein level) (PubMed:18366072). Detected in myeloid cells (PubMed:22492581). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14603461, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18366072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22492581}.
Induction:Disruption of the blood-brain barrier by cold injury results in a drastic reduction in expression (PubMed:14603461). Up-regulated in primary chondrocytes in response to BMP2 and PTHLH/PTHrP (PubMed:29702220). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14603461, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29702220}.
Developmental stage:At embryonic stage 15.5 dpc, expressed in the growth plate of long bones where it is mostly found in chondrocytes in the resting and proliferative zones (at protein level) (PubMed:29702220). Expression gradually increases in differentiating osteoclasts, but then decreases during the late stages of differentiation (PubMed:22492581). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22492581, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29702220}.
