Tissue SpecificityExpressed in many tissues with much higher expression in retina. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in adipose tissue, whereas isoform 1 only seems to be present in thymus, and isoform 2 only in testis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12755418, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17400359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19588076}.
