| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in esophagus, adipose tissues and colon. Expressed at lower level in lung, brain, pancreas and skeletal muscle. Expression is up-regulated in tumors of bladder, lung, thyroid gland, pancreas and ovary. Expressed in astrocytes. |
| Function | Calcium-binding protein. Binds one calcium ion per monomer. Can promote differentiation of adipocytes (in vitro). Overexpression in preadipocytes increases their proliferation, enhances adipogenesis and reduces insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. |
