Tissuebrain
Tissue SpecificityPredominantly expressed in neural tissues, especially in brain. Expression is reduced in low-grade brain tumors and significantly reduced or absent in malignant gliomas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16518856}.;
[Isoform 1]: Expressed in the occipital cortex and hippocampus;
higher amounts are observed in the parietal and frontal cortices, putamen, and, particularly, in the temporal neocortex, where it is between 3 and 5 times more abundant than in the hippocampus (at protein level) (PubMed:16787412). Expression is absent in the cerebellum (PubMed:16787412). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16787412}.;
[Isoform 3]: Abundantly expressed in the occipital cortex and weakly expressed in the hippocampus (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16787412}.
