Tissue SpecificityUbiquitous. Expressed at very high levels in the brain, heart, peripheral blood leukocytes, liver, kidney, placenta and skeletal muscle. Expressed at very low levels in thymus and small intestine. In the brain, expression is particularly intense in motoneurons in the embryo and in neurons involved in somatomotor and neuroendocrine functions in the adult, particularly in the substantia nigra pars compacta. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11374880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11414770, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23690988}.
