Tissue SpecificityAccording to PubMed:12498782, expressed predominantly in the brain and in kidney. Low levels in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, placenta, pancreas and lung. According to PubMed:12972431, predominant expression in brain, and only marginal in kidney. In brain, present throughout all cortical layers, highest levels in GABAergic neurons (based on morphology and distribution pattern). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12498782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12972431}.
