Tissue SpecificityPredominantly expressed in neuroectoderm-derived tissues. Expressed in the brain and spinal cord, and at low levels, in the adrenal gland. In the bone marrow, confined to the CD34+ progenitor cells. Not found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, nor lymph nodes. Tends to be expressed at high levels in acute myeloid leukemia and glioblastoma cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11707601}.
