Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in omental adipose tissue where it is found in stromal vascular cells but not in fat cells but is barely detectable in subcutaneous adipose tissue (at protein level) (PubMed:16531507). Highly expressed in the small intestine. Also found in the heart, testis, colon, salivary gland, skeletal muscle, pancreas and thyroid and, to a lesser degree, in the uterus, spleen, prostate, lymph node and thymus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11181563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11313366, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11747454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16531507}.
