Comments Information

    • Subcellular location

    • Cytoplasmic granule. Note

    • Tissue specificity

    • Higher expression in hemocytes and to a lesser extent in heart, testis, gills, intestine, lymphonoid organ and hepatopancreas. Traces in eyes and subcuticular epithelium. Not present in the brain.
