TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in normal breast tissues and low-grade breast cancer tissues (at protein level) (PubMed:28169360). Highly expressed in the placenta and prostate. Expressed at a lower level in the thyroid, spinal cord, trachea, adrenal gland, skeletal muscle, pancreas, heart, brain, liver and kidney. A short splice product shows more limited expression, being absent from at least the brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11876824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12657639, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28169360, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9738934}.
