Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in heart, placenta, lung, foreskin and lymph node (PubMed:10779521, PubMed:10945976). Prominently expressed on high endothelial venules and also present on the endothelia of other vessels (at protein level) (PubMed:10779521, PubMed:10945976). Also expressed in the brain in the caudate nuclei (PubMed:31851307). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10779521, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10945976, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31851307}.
