Mainly expressed in brain, including cerebellum, brainstem, spinal cord, and hypothalamus. Also expressed in the peripheral nervous system and neural crest derivatives, including the dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia, the cochlear spiral and intestinal ganglion cells, and the adrenal medulla. Also detected to a lower extent in testis, heart, liver, lung, skeletal muscle and thymus (at protein level).
