Tissue SpecificityExpressed abundantly in the heart, in both cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelial cells (at protein level). Highly expressed in brain, kidney and skeletal muscle. In the brain expressed in cerebellum, cerebral cortex, medulla, occipital pole, frontal and temporal lobes putamen and in the spinal cord. Lower expression in liver, pancreas, and liver. Expressed in endometrial tissue, exclusively in the stroma. Expression is high in the proliferative phase, decreases during the secretory phase, and is no longer detectable in the menstrual phase. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15448143, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16873718, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018840, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17393420}.
