Tissue SpecificityHigher expression in the brain than in liver and kidney (PubMed:7557095, PubMed:9539145, PubMed:15632119). Expressed in brain neurons in both cortex and hippocampus (PubMed:10873595, PubMed:25132355). Expressed in placental trophoblasts (PubMed:12409283). Also expressed in lung and testes at lower levels (PubMed:7557095). Expressed in the eye (at protein level) (PubMed:25560245). Expressed in the retina in the outer and inner nuclear layers, the inner plexiform layer and the ganglion cell layer (PubMed:25132355). Expressed in liver and prostate (PubMed:10873595). Expressed in fetal brain and liver (PubMed:10873595). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10873595, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12409283, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15632119, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25132355, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25560245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7557095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9539145}.
