Tissuetestis, liver
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in brain, lung, kidney, liver and pancreas, and in fetal tissues including placenta, fetal brain, lung and kidney. Very low levels of expression were also detected in fetal heart, thymus, liver and spleen. Isoform 1 is brain-specific. Isoform 3 is kidney-specific. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11571656, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15194194, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16275913}.
