What tissues show high expression levels of Annexin A13 in humans?

Moonshot's Answer

Annexin A13 shows high expression levels in specific human tissues, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, bile ducts, gallbladder, renal tubules, and fallopian tubes, as summarized by The Human Protein Atlas [1]. It is also highly expressed in most renal cell carcinoma tissues [2]. Notably, annexin A13 is not expressed in normal epithelial cells but is found at moderate or high levels in tumor cells in 58.4% of colorectal cancer cases [3]. The protein is detected in epithelial cells in the colon and jejunum at the protein level [4]. The expression pattern of annexin A13 is tissue- and cell type-specific, with limited expression in other tissues [5]. Here is an image illustrating the expression of annexin A13 in human colorectal cancer tissues 6.
