Tissuebrain, cerebral.cortex, small.intestine, spleen, testis
Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in the cerebral cortex and frontal lobe, slightly less in the cerebellum, occipital and temporal lobes, relatively low in the medulla and putamen, and lowest in the spinal cord. No expression detected in the pancreas (PubMed:10698717). Highly expressed in fetal brain and occipital lobe, slightly less in the whole brain, frontal lobe, hippocampus, and lung, very low expression in cerebellum, medulla oblongata, temporal lobe, testis, kidney and appendix (PubMed:12039030). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10698717, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12039030}.
