Expressed in non-hematopoietic tissues, with relative abundant expression in brain, placenta, lung, liver and kidney. Also expressed in hematopoietic tissues (fetal liver, spleen, lymph node, thymus, leukocytes and bone marrow). Found in acidophil cells of the pituitary that secrete growth hormone and prolactin.
