TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed (PubMed:15283699, PubMed:12803540). Under physiological conditions, SSAT2 is expressed at lower level that SSAT1 (SSAT). Many tissues express only SSAT1, several tissues express both SSAT1 and SSAT2, and bone, cervix, ovary and pineal gland expressed only SSAT2 (PubMed:12803540). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12803540, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15283699}.
