TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityDetected in fetal spinal cord and in brain neurons, with higher levels in brain from Alzheimer disease patients (at protein level). Highly expressed in heart, brain, placenta, pancreas, lymph node, thymus and prostate. Detected at lower levels in lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, testis, uterus, small intestine, colon, spleen, bone marrow and fetal liver. Very low levels were found in adult liver and peripheral blood leukocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21725297, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23559013, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9714541}.
