Tissuethyroid
Tissue SpecificityIn brain, expression is most prominent in caudate nucleus, hippocampus and thalamus. Significant expression also detected in amygdala and subthalamic nucleus. Also expressed in both healthy and cardiomyopathic heart. Up to four times more abundant in left ventricle than left atrium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7603988, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8938711}.
