TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed at high levels in testes and lung. Low levels are detected in kidney, pancreas and skin. Also expressed in fetal lung, brain, skeletal muscle and kidney. Expressed selectively in keratinocytes. Widely expressed in several carcinomas as well. Is up-regulated in response to injury in the skin.
