Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in spleen (at protein level) (PubMed:8836175, PubMed:25075772). Has little or no expression in healthy kidneys (at protein level) (PubMed:25075772). Detected in interstitial leukocytes in infected kidneys (at protein level) (PubMed:25075772). Expressed in ureter where it localizes to urothelial and submucosal leukocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:25075772). Strong expression in lung and thymus, and lower expression in heart, placenta, pancreas, liver, brain and skeletal muscle (PubMed:8836175, PubMed:25075772). Also expressed in monocytes and neutrophils (PubMed:8836175). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25075772, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8836175}.
