TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpression is increased in differentiated thyroid carcinomas compared to normal thyroid tissue and anaplastic thyroid tumors where expression is low or undetectable. Expression is found in thyrocytes but not in stromal cells (at protein level) (PubMed:15735754). Detected in neonate heart and lung (PubMed:8288227). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15735754, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8288227}.
