TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in liver, skeletal muscle, heart, pancreas, and placenta. Not detected in brain, lung or kidney. Expressed in several lung cancer tissues, but is barely detected in the adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Also highly expressed in several esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and colon cancer tissues, and in various cancer cell lines. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14695334, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15534111, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15897898, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19502796}.
