Tissueliver, cerebellum, brain, cerebellar.hemisphere
Tissue SpecificityAbundantly produced during brain ontogenesis by the Cajal-Retzius cells and other pioneer neurons located in the telencephalic marginal zone and by granule cells of the external granular layer of the cerebellum. In adult brain, preferentially expressed in GABAergic interneurons of prefrontal cortices, temporal cortex, hippocampus and glutamatergic granule cells of cerebellum. Expression is reduced to about 50% in patients with schizophrenia. Also expressed in fetal and adult liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9861036}.
