Expressed at high levels in heart, mammary gland, adrenal gland, stomach, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle, and at lower levels in brain and lung. Strongly down-regulated in lung cancer tissues, due to hypermethylation of the corresponding locus (PubMed:12660825). Expressed in adipose tissue (PubMed:26629404).
