TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in brain, kidney, and muscle but is barely seen in heart and placenta. Down-regulated or lost in all cell lines and in most of the tumor samples analyzed. Loss was associated with advanced stage of the disease. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15735678, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16170365, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7542763}.
