TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed with highest levels of isoform 1 and isoform 2 detected in testis. Isoform 1 is expressed at higher levels than isoform 2 in liver and kidney while isoform 2 levels are higher in brain, lung, muscle, white adipose tissue and testis. Levels are almost equal in heart. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17603022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20195242}.
