| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the fallopian tube, vascular smooth muscle cells in kidney, breast and colon and in visceral smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract. Highly expressed in retinal pigment epithelia. Expressed in medulloblastoma. In the kidney, constitutively expressed in parietal epithelial cells of Bowman's capsule, tubular epithelial cells and in arterial endothelial cells (at protein level). Highly expressed in the platelets, prostate, testis and uterus. Higher expression is observed in uterine leiomyomata. Weaker expression in the spleen, thymus, heart, pancreas, liver, ovary cells and small intestine, and negligible expression in the colon and peripheral blood leukocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10806482, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11004490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11297552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11342471, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11854040, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12176024, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15061151, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17482170, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18055825}. |
