Protein expression
normal tissue

Cytoplasmic expression in several tissues, most abundant in gastrointestinal tract and lymphoid tissues. Additional plasma positivity.

ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY

Data reliability
description

Antibody staining consistent with RNA expression data. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
