Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, spleen, testis, uterus, prostate and thymus. In testis, expressed in germ cells and Leydig cells, but not in peritubular myocytes, nor in Sertoli cells. Expressed in prostate cancers, in seminomas and in Leydig cell tumors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12972618, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17437848}.
