Function | May play an important role in maintaining normal growth homeostasis in epithelial cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14583459}. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14583459}. |
Tissue Specificity | Abundantly expressed in the epithelial cells of the liver, kidney, gastrointestinal tract and cervix. Significantly down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and right colon adenocarcinoma compared with the respective adjacent normal tissues. Expressed in epididymis (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14583459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20736409}. |
