TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed (PubMed:12730828). There is apparent differential expression of different transcripts (PubMed:12730828, PubMed:19006247). In fetal brain, lung, liver, and kidney, two transcripts of 2 and 5 kb are identified (PubMed:12730828). These transcripts are also seen in all adult tissues analyzed (PubMed:12730828). A larger transcript (12-14 kb) is expressed in prostate, testis, ovary, and colon in the adult (PubMed:12730828). Expression is very low in adult brain tissue (PubMed:12730828). Expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PubMed:33025479). Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in brain and retina (PubMed:12730828, PubMed:19006247). Isoform 2 is expressed ubiquitously (PubMed:12730828, PubMed:19006247). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12730828, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19006247, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33025479}.
