TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityDetected in brain (PubMed:8218410, PubMed:7521911, PubMed:8123008). Detected at very much lower levels in heart, lung, placenta and skeletal muscle (PubMed:7521911, PubMed:8123008). Highly expressed in cerebellum, but also found in frontal cortex, hippocampus and basal ganglia (PubMed:7521911). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7521911, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8123008, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8218410}.
