TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed. Highly expressed in small intestine, placenta, spleen, cerebral cortex and ovary. Expressed at intermediate level in uterus, mammary gland, stomach, cerebellum and whole brain. Weakly expressed in fetal brain, bone marrow, thyroid gland, thymus, heart, skeletal muscle, lung, liver, colon, pancreas, kidney and testis. Not expressed in leukocyte. Expressed in both normal and osteoarthritic cartilage. Expressed at low level in chondrocytes in all zones of both normal and osteoarthritic cartilage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11597177, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15147861}.
