TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityHighest expression in kidney and peripheral blood leukocytes. Weaker expression is observed in lung, heart, placenta, spleen, testis and small intestine. Expressed in normal fibroblasts and those from LPI patients. Also expressed in HUVECs, monocytes, retinal pigment epithelial cells, and various carcinoma cell lines, with highest expression in a colon-carcinoma cell line. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10080183, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11078698, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11742806, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15280038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17197568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17329401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9829974}.
