Notes:
(a) Highly expressed in fetal liver starting at E11.5 through 1 wpn.
(b) Expression levels 40-fold higher compared to adult liver.
(c) Dramatically downregulated. Expression levels 20-fold higher versus adult.
(d) Expression further reduced. Expression levels 10-fold higher than adult.
(e) Authors report expression is barely traceable in adult liver.
