Tissuebrain, cerebral.cortex, testis
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in brain and spinal cord, and at lower levels in testis, placenta and liver, but no detectable expression observed in any other tissue. When overexpressed in cells, tends to become insoluble and unfolded. Accumulation of the unfolded protein may lead to dopaminergic neuronal death in juvenile Parkinson disease (PDJ). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9526070}.
