Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed. Highest levels in testis and brain, and lower levels in heart, spleen, intestine, ovary, placenta, lung, kidney, pancreas, thymus, prostate, skeletal muscle, liver and leukocytes. In testis, expressed in germ cells in the earlier stages of differentiation pathway as well as in spermatids. In brain, expressed at a higher level in hippocampus and thalamus and a lower level in amygdala, substantia nigra, corpus callosum and caudate nucleus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10319584, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11896048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22366786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9915854}.
