TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityBrain, glial cells, astrocytes, embryo, placenta, testis, ovary and uterus. In the placenta it is found in the layer of villous cytotrophoblast cells while in the ovary it is found in the cells of the ovarian stroma including the thecal layers around the follicles. Expression is highly repressed in glioma cell lines. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11260267, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11331620, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9149948}.
