Expressed in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) and brainstem dorsal vagal complex (DVC) in oxytocin and catecholaminergic neurons (at protein level). Highest expression detected in subcutaneous and epididymal white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue and testis. Also expressed in brain, skeletal muscle and adrenal gland, with lower levels detected in liver, heart, kidney, spleen, lung and small intestine. In brain, detected in piriform cortex, olfactory tubercle, islands of Calleja, lateral septal nucleus, medial septal nucleus, nucleus of the vertical limb of the diagonal band, nucleus of the horizontal limb of the diagonal band, preoptic area, paraventricular thalamic nucleus, lateral globus pallidus, supraoptic nucleus, suprachiasmatic nucleus, subfornical organ, paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, zona incerta, dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus, arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, basomedial amygdaloid nucleus, medial amygdaloid nucleus, medial habenular, pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus, granular layer of the dentate gyrus, posterior hypothalamus, supramammilliary nucleus, premammillary nucle
