Tissuekidney
Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in colon, kidney, prostate, intestine and activated lymphocytes. Expressed at much higher levels in the renal cell cancers than in surrounding normal kidney tissue. Moderately expressed in pancreas, ovary and testis. Expressed in sweat glands and bronchiolar epithelium (PubMed:26911677). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26911677}.
