Tissue SpecificityExpressed in the regenerative zone of gastric antrum, gastric body mucosa and gastric incisura mucosa. Expressed in the deeper mucous glands of gastric antrum. Overexpressed in Helicobacter pylori infected gastric epithelium. Highly expressed in duodenal Brunner's glands, gall bladder, seminal vesicle, pancreatic centroacinar cells and ducts, and periductal glands of the common bile duct. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10209489, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10330458, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11988092, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15280409, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9422745}.
