Expressed in brain and sensory epithelium of the developing inner ear. Expressed in the retina, in the photoreceptor inner segments, the outer plexiform layer, the inner nuclei layer and the ganglion cell layer and, more diffusely in the inner plexiform layer (at protein level). Not detected in the retinal pigment epithelium (at protein level). Expressed in the spleen, dorsal root ganglion, dorsal aspect of neural tube, floor plate and ependymal cells adjacent to the neural canal.
