TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in basement membranes of lung and kidney. Muscle- and neuron-specific isoforms are found. Isoforms (y+) with the 4 AA insert and (z+8) isoforms with the 8 AA insert are all neuron-specific. Isoforms (z+11) are found in both neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16487930, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20551380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9652404}.
