TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityUbiquitously expressed in fetus and adult (PubMed:9722952). Highest expression in adult pancreas, liver, skeletal muscle (PubMed:9722952, PubMed:12930836). In fetus, highest expression in liver and lower levels in kidney, and lung (PubMed:12930836). Exclusively expressed in the glomeruli along the glomerular capillary walls (PubMed:19443642). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12930836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19443642, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9722952}.
