Highly expressed in brain. Expressed in undifferentiated neural progenitors and in astrocyte lineage, particulary in Bergmann glia, a subtype of radial glia, and a few discrete neuronal populations residing in the superior colliculus, the ocular motor nucleus, the raphe and pontine nuclei, and in various thalamic nuclei. Weakly expressed in heart, kidney, skeletal muscle, spleen, testis, gut and lung.
