TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityIn placenta, it is present within invasive trophoblasts and in the surrounding extracellular space. Also present in amnion cells, but is not readily apparent in the extracellular matrix of this cell type. Present in normal pituitary gland and neoplastic pituitary gland (especially POMC-, GH- and PRL-producing adenomas) (at protein level). Widely expressed. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10671522, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12417617, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9099699}.
