Tissue SpecificityDistributed in tissues where resilience and elastic recoil are prominent. Highest levels in the adult small intestine, aorta, lung, uterus, and appendix and in the fetal spleen, kidney, lung, and heart;
intermediate expression was detected in adult liver, ovary, colon, stomach, lymph node and spleen;
adult heart, bladder, prostate, adrenal gland, mammary gland, placenta and kidney showed low expression whereas a series of other adult tissues, including skeletal muscle and different regions of adult brain show no expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11278945}.
