Tissue specificity：Peripheral blood leukocytes and lymphatic tissues. Expressed in lung, liver, breast and kidney with higher levels in tumor endothelial cells than normal endothelium (at protein level) (PubMed:24333696). Expressed in trophoblast cells in decidua and placenta in pregnancy (at protein level) (PubMed:23242525, PubMed:25578313). Isoform 2 is the most abundant isoform expressed in endothelial cells (PubMed:24333696). Upon endothelial cell activation isoform 2 expression decreases while expression of isoform 3 and isoform 5 increases (PubMed:24333696). Isoform 4 decreases in pathological pregnancy (PubMed:23242525). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23242525, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24333696, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25578313}.
Induction：By toll-like receptor ligands zymosan (TLR2 ligand), polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) (TLR3 ligand) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (TLR4 ligand) and by proinflammatory cytokines IFNG, TNFA, IL1A and IL1B in mesenchymal stromal cells (PubMed:23817958). By IFNG in macrophages (PubMed:20209097). Up-regulated in dendritic cells following infection with dengue virus (PubMed:25754930). Up-regulated in Kupffer cells following infection with hepatitis C virus (PubMed:20209097). Up-regulated in plasma following infection with HIV-1 (PubMed:24786365). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20209097, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23817958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24786365, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25754930}.
