GOLPH2 is widely expressed. Expression levels are high in the colon, prostate, trachea and stomach; expressed at lower level in testis, muscle, lymphoid tissues, white blood cells and spleen. GOLPH2 is predominantly expressed by cells of the epithelial lineage. It is expressed at a low level in normal liver, though expression significantly increases in virus (HBV, HCV) infected liver. Expression does not increase in liver disease due to non viral causes (alcohol induced liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis). Increased expression in hepatocytes appears to be a general feature of advanced liver disease. In liver tissue from patients with adult giant-cell hepatitis (GCH), it is strongly expressed in hepatocyte derived syncitial giant cells. GOLPH2 is constitutively expressed by biliary epithelial cells but not by hepatocytes.
