TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in columnar and transitional epithelia, mononuclear cells, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells lining capillaries and small venules (at protein level). Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in heart, placenta and ovary, and lowest levels in the kidney. Detected at low levels in islets of Langerhans from type 2 diabetes mellitus individuals. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14563213, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21127054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9337861}.
