TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in the pyramidal cells of the hippocampus (at protein level). Highly expressed in all major regions of the brain, spinal column and in testis, and moderate levels in trachea, thyroid and medulla region of kidney. Low expression levels observed in pancreas and kidney cortex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10362779, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11133997, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17715183}.;
