Tissue specificity:Expressed in the outer root sheath and medulla region of hair follicle specifically from eyebrow and beard, digital pulp, nail matrix and nail bed epithelium, mucosal stratified squamous epithelia and in basal cells of oral epithelium, palmoplantar epidermis and sweat and mammary glands. Also expressed in myoepithelium of prostate, basal layer of urinary bladder, cambial cells of sebaceous gland and in exocervix (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10651700, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10844551, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1281771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2481679}.

Induction:Induced in damaged or stressed epidermis. Induced by the cytokines interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), and by the potent NF-kappa B inhibitor compounds Bay 11-7082 and Bay 11-7085. Down-regulated by the drug Imatinib. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1372562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15608502, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15795121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16713453}.
