Tissuelung
Tissue SpecificityPredominantly present in cerebellar cortex. Present in various lung tumor cell lines, while it is absent in normal lung (at protein level). Highly expressed in heart, lung, testis, pancreas and skeletal muscle. Also expressed in kidney, liver, placenta and brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10766861, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11687876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9880589}.
