Tissue specificity:Brain. Present in neurons within the hippocampus, frontal cortex and temporal cortex (at protein level). Expressed at low levels in most peripheral tissues and at higher levels in colon, kidney, pancreas, placenta, prostate, stomach and trachea. Expressed at low levels in the brain. Found in spinal cord, medulla oblongata, substantia nigra and locus coruleus. Expressed in the ductal epithelium of both normal and malignant prostate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10591213, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10677483, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10683441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10749877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10838186, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10965118, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11083922}.
