developmental stage:Specifically expressed during dendritic cell differentiation (in vitro) . Expression is low in fetal brain and increases during brain postnatal development. ,Disease:Found in pathological brain lesions of Alzheimer disease. ,Disease:Not expressed or strongly down-regulated in various cancer types , such as astrocytoma , meningioma , liver cancer and pancreatic cancer. ,Function:May be involved in dendritic cell and neuron differentiation. May have anti-tumor activity. ,similarity:Belongs to the NDRG family. ,subcellular location:Perinuclear in neurons. ,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in brain , heart , skeletal muscle and salivary gland , and moderately in kidney and liver. Expressed in dendritic cells , but not in other blood cells. Generally not expressed in tumor cell lines. Isoforms 1 and 2 are present in brain neurons and up-regulated in Alzheimer disease (at protein level) . ,
