TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityUbiquitously expressed in all tissues examined, with highest levels in skeletal muscle, heart and testis. Differentially expressed in non-tumorigenic and tumorigenic cell lines. Highly expressed in proliferating epithelial keratinocyte cells in vitro (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10964102, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9266022}.
