Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in breast carcinoma tissues. Enhanced expression correlates with the grade of the tumor (grade II/grade III) in primary breast tumors (at protein level). Widely expressed. Expressed at high levels in the brain especially in the hippocampus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10535980, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20336406}.
