Studies of a similar protein in mouse indicate a potential role for this protein as a tumor suppressor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009] Expression Broad expression in liver (RPKM 13.5), small intestine (RPKM 5.4) and 18 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
