Tissueovary
Tissue SpecificityExpressed predominantly in fetal and adult brain and skeletal muscle. Expression is specific to the telencephalon and ventral thalamus. There is an absence of expression in the cerebellum throughout development and also in adult. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11889467, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11971879, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12359145}.
