Tissue SpecificityIsoform 1 expression is specific to nervous system. Expressed in nerve terminal and cell body, and is associated with nerve-terminal vesicles. Expression seen in Purkinje cells, cortical neurons, neuroectodermal tumors and graded in cerebral cortex (deeper layers exhibit stronger expression) (PubMed:1851215). Isoform 2 is expressed at high levels in brain and testis (PubMed:17453999). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17453999, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1851215}.
