Tissueprostate, parotid.gland, submandibular.gland
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in a very restricted set of primarily hormone-regulated epithelial tissues with particularly high expression in the prostate gland. Significantly lower expression is seen in other hormone regulated tissues such as mammary gland, salivary gland, and ovary. Expressed in prostate carcinoma cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10625666}.
