TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in perivascular macrophages. Expressed in plaques-surrounding reactive astrocytes and in perivascular astrocytes associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in the temporal cortex of Alzheimer patient (at protein level). Strongly expressed in placenta. Moderately expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, small intestine and lung. Weakly expressed in brain, colon, thymus and kidney. Expressed in nurse-like cells. Expressed in reactive astrocytes and vascular/perivascular cells in the brain of Alzheimer patient. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11162630, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11564734, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12761161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16868960}.
