Tissuebone.marrow, whole.blood
Tissue SpecificityExpressed abundantly in the bone marrow. Expressed exclusively by eosinophils and basophils. Not detected in monocytes and neutrophils. Expressed in CD25-positive regulatory T-cells (Treg) (at protein level). Found in intestinal tissue from patients with Celiac disease, expression is directly related to the histological grade of mucosal damage and to the number of eosinophils found in the duodenal lesion (at protein level). Found in sputum of patients with eosinophilic inflammatory diseases such as asthma (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17502455, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19497882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19758173, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22880030}.
