Tissuespleen
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in leukocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:10873640). Widely expressed (PubMed:10873640). Highly expressed in myelo-lymphatic tissues including peripheral leukocytes, thymus, spleen and bone marrow (PubMed:10873640, PubMed:11435699). Expressed in the hippocampus and the cerebellum (PubMed:27472885). Isoform 2: Abundant in lymph node, spleen, thymus and trachea (PubMed:14592415). Isoform 1: Strongly expressed in brain and bone marrow (PubMed:14592415). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10873640, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11435699, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14592415, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27472885}.
