Tissue SpecificityExpressed in activated T-cells, in kidney, liver, lung and pancreas. Not expressed in brain, heart, or skeletal muscle. Expressed at high levels in TCR gamma delta-expressing CTL clones, and in some TCR alpha beta-expressing CTL clones (both CD4+ and CD8+), but is not expressed in other TCR alpha beta-expressing CTL clones and in cell lines representing B-cells, monocytes, and myeloid cells.
