TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityAbundantly expressed in heart. In cardiac muscle cells, located in the Z-disks of sarcomere. Also found, but to a lower extent, in small and large intestine, pancreas, thymus, colon, spleen, prostate, testis, brain, ovary and epithelial cells. In the pancreas, mainly expressed in acinar cells, duct cells and all cell types in islets (at protein level). Tends to be down-regulated in pancreatic adenocarcinomas ans metastases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11786189, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18559503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9211900}.
