Tissue SpecificityHighly expressed in heart, lung, liver and liver. Expressed at low level in brain and spleen. Weakly or not expressed in testis and skeletal muscle. In liver, it is expressed in hepatocytes and at higher level in sinusoidal lining. In the kidney, it is expressed in peritubular capillaries. In brain, it is expressed in the epithelium of the choroid plexus ependymal cells of the third ventricle pia matter, and to lesser extent in hippocampal fields CA2 and CA3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11123907}.
