Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in liver and weakly in testis. Expression was higher in patients with severe fibrosis or inflammation and chronic hepatitis (PubMed:12586826). Isoform 1 is specifically expressed in lung, testis, small intestine, colon, pancreas, kidney, liver and prostate (PubMed:27138255). Isoform 8 is expressed only in testis (at the protein level). Isoform 8 (at protein level) and isoform 9 are expressed in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) cell lines, colorectal carcinomas, breast carcinomas and melanoma. Isoform 9, but not isoform 5A, is expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (PubMed:12839582). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12586826, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12839582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27138255}.
