Function |
Role in contact inhibition at the lateral surface of epithelial cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12117771}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12117771}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12117771}. Cell junction {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12117771}. Note=Present at the cell junctions and the apical surface of cells. Colocalizes with actin at the microvilli-like structures which protrude from the apical surface.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in liver, kidney and colon. Moderately expressed in small intestine. Down-regulated in a number of liver and colon cancers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12117771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15534908}.
