Highly expressed in testis, round spermatids, testicular sperm, epididymal sperm and in condensing spermatids (at protein level) (PubMed:15827353). Expressed in organs that contain cilia-bearing cells including brain, oviduct, lung, and uterus (PubMed:15827353). Expressed in articular cartilage and bone (PubMed:26017218).
