TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed at the mRNA level, with highest levels in testis (PubMed:9381176). Testis-specific (at protein level). Expressed predominantly in spermatogonia, but occasionally detected in some pre-leptotene/leptotene spermatocytes (PubMed:15294876). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15294876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9381176}.
