Tissue specificity：Widely expressed in the embryo (PubMed:9203140, PubMed:23839944). Detected in adult in the retinal pigment epithelium in the eye (PubMed:9203140, PubMed:22467576, PubMed:23839944, PubMed:24852372). In the adult, is highly expressed in cells that compose blood-organ barriers in the brain (choroid plexus and the brain microvascular), in testis (the basal layer of the seminiferous epithelium), in the yolk sac, and in the chorioallantoic placenta (PubMed:9203140, PubMed:23839944). Detected in white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, but not in liver (at protein level) (PubMed:21368206). Widely expressed in adult, with high expression levels in the eye (PubMed:24852372). Detected in brain, cerebellum, testis, pituitary, pancreas, kidney, spleen, and female genital tract; and at very low levels in heart and lung (PubMed:9203140, PubMed:24852372). Not detected in liver (PubMed:9203140). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21368206, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22467576, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23839944, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24852372, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9203140}.
Induction：By retinoic acid. Synergistically up-regulated by Wnt1 and retinoids in mammary epithelial cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11358845, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11832495, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7644503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9203140}.
Developmental stage：During embryogenesis, strongly expressed in the periocular mesenchyme, in the developing eyes, in respiratory mesenchymes, and in respiratory and bronchial epithelium, as well as in the developing central nervous system and in different embryonic gut derivatives (the epithelium of the pharyngeal pouches, mesenchyme of the esophagus, stomach, intestine, and rectum). In Sertoli cells expression depends on the stage of the spermatogenic cycle. During early placentation, is expressed in the yolk sac membrane and the chorionic plate. Expression was no longer detected in the yolk sac membrane during mid-late gestation, but was found in the labyrinthine zone of the chorioallantoic placenta. Expressed during early dorsoventral limb patterning and during endochondral ossification. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10727869, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8792610, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9203140}.
