| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed only within the CNS, where its expression is restricted to the medical habenulla, to a dispersed population of neurons in the dorsal hypothalamus, and to subsets of ganglion and amacrine cells in the retina. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8601806}.
