Tissue SpecificityExpressed in pyramidal neurons in all cortical laminae of the visual cortex, in neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta and caudate putamen (at protein level). Expressed in neutrophils (at protein level) (PubMed:29127255). Expressed in the brain. Expressed throughout the adult brain, but at a lower level than in heart and liver. Also expressed in placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. In the brain, expressed in the cerebellum, cerebral cortex, medulla, spinal cord occipital pole, frontal lobe, temporal lobe and putamen. Expression is particularly high in brain dopaminoceptive areas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15541308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15541309, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16532471, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17120249, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29127255}.
