Tissuesigmoid.colon, spleen, whole.blood
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in peripheral blood leukocytes > bone marrow = spleen > lymph node, and only faintly visible in appendix and thymus. Expressed in the brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, and placenta. Expressed primarily by reticuloendothelial cells: monocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells. Expressed in atherosclerotic lesion foam cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10191299, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10852956}.
