Tissue SpecificityMore abundantly expressed in neocortex, cerebellum, spinal cord and retina where it is expressed by neuronal cells (at protein level) (PubMed:1599432, PubMed:12754272). Detected at much lower level in non-neuronal tissues including kidney, lung, heart, skeletal muscle, spleen and testis (at protein level) (PubMed:12754272, PubMed:1599432). Isoform 1 is more abundant in neocortex and cerebellum compared to isoform 2 (at protein level) (PubMed:12754272). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12754272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1599432}.
