TissueNA
Tissue SpecificitySpecifically expressed in cartilage. Localizes in the intermediates layer of articular cartilage but neither in the superficial nor in the deepest regions. Specifically and highly expressed in intervertebral disk tissue. Expression increases with aging in hip articular cartilage. Overexpressed in articular hyaline cartilage from patients with calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD). Expression in intervertebral disk tissue from individuals with lumbar disk disease increases as disk degeneration progresses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12483726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15864306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9722583, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9722584}.
