Tissuetibial.nerve
Tissue SpecificityDetected in testis (at protein level) (PubMed:2105456). Testis, myometrium and fallopian tube. Also expressed in the brain with highest expression in the cerebellum, optic nerve and olfactory tract (PubMed:19878745). Isoform 1 is detected in brain, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidney and placenta;
isoform 2 is not detectable in these tissues (PubMed:19706761). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19706761, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19878745, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2105456}.

Note=Tethered in the cytoplasm by binding to SUFU (PubMed:10806483). Activation and translocation to the nucleus is promoted by interaction with STK36 (PubMed:10806483). Phosphorylation by ULK3 may promote nuclear localization (PubMed:19878745). Translocation to the nucleus is promoted by interaction with ZIC1 (PubMed:11238441). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10806483, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11238441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19878745}.;
