Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in prostate (basal, secretory and neuroendocrine epithelium cells). Also found in bladder (transitional epithelium), placenta (trophoblasts), stomach (neuroendocrine cells), colon (neuroendocrine cells) and kidney (collecting ducts). Overexpressed in prostate cancers and expression is correlated with tumor stage, grade and androgen-independence. Highly expressed in prostate cancer bone metastases. Expressed in gastric epithelial cells, mainly in the isthmus (at protein level). Not detected in normal intestinal epithelium (at protein level). Expressed in brain cortex;
expression is significantly increased in the front cortex of Alzheimer disease patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10713670, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18488030, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25680266}.
