Tissuepineal.gland
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in retina (PubMed:12914764). Widely expressed (at protein level) (PubMed:29030614). In the retina the strongest immunoreactivity is detected in the inner half of the cytoplasmic portion of the photoreceptor layer, where rods and cones are found, and the external half of the outer plexiform layer (at protein level) (PubMed:29030614). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12914764, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29030614}.
