TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityIsoform 3 is widely expressed, with highest levels in brain, where it is enriched in neuronal cell bodies from gray matter (at protein level). Three times more abundant in macula than in peripheral retina. Isoform 1 is expressed at high levels in brain and at low levels in skeletal muscle. Isoform 2 is only found in melanoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10331947, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12811824, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14986927, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15286784, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15946766}.
