Tissueskeletal.muscle, thyroid
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in neutrophils and eosinophils (PubMed:24163421). Isoform 2 is expressed in embryonic stem cells (at protein level). Isoform 1 is ubiquitously expressed in all tissue types examined with high levels in heart, lung and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10376525, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17347302, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21408167, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24163421}.
