TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityUbiquitously expressed (at protein level). Highly expressed in brain. Down-regulated in ovarian carcinoma, pancreas carcinoma, colon carcinoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Isoform 1 is the major isoform in most peripheral tissues. Isoform 2 is abundant in most peripheral tissues. Isoform 3 is the major isoform in brain, female reproductive tissues, thyroid and heart. Within brain it is highly expressed in corpus callosum and pons. Isoform 6 is brain-specific, it is the major isoform in cerebellum and fetal brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10697957, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12692079, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15123706, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16270321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16887298, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16969489, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17656251}.
