Tissue SpecificityExpressed in most fetal and adult tissues with highest levels in adult liver, heart, pituitary gland, adrenal gland, placenta and regions of the brain (PubMed:9826557). Expressed at high levels in lung, pancreas, skin and uterus (at protein level) (PubMed:22020119). Lower expression level is detected in spleen, kidney, intestine and adipose tissue (at protein level) (PubMed:22020119). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22020119, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9826557}.
