On the top, protein expression in current human tissue, based on all annotated cell types, is reported with the units not detected (n), low (l), medium (m) and high (h). Underneath, protein expression in each annotated cell type are reported using the same units. Protein expression data is based on knowledge-based annotation. For genes where more than one antibody has been used, a collective score is set. If knowledge-based annotation could not be performed for a gene, no data is displayed here.

RNA expressioni
A summary of mRNA expression data available for current tissue based on several datasets. The mRNA expression levels in human tissues are based on RNA-seq data generated by the Human Protein Atlas HPA, Genotype-Tissue Expression GTEx portal and CAGE data generated by the FANTOM5 consortium. Consensus normalized expression levels for human tissues was created by combining the data from HPA and GTEx datasets. The mRNA expression levels in pig brain are based on RNA-seq data generated by the Human Protein Atlas, and for mouse brain HPA data and in situ hybridization generated by the Allen brain atlas dataset are reported.

The RNA-seq details section shows detailed information about the individual samples used for the transcript profiling and results of the RNA-seq analysis.
Information about each individual sample is listed below, including gender, age, a tissue section image and estimated fractions of cell types. nTPM (normalized transcripts per million) values give a quantification of the gene abundance which is comparable between different genes and samples.
Average nTPMi
Max subtype nTPM is the value for the subtype with the largest average nTPM across the subtype samples.

TONGUE - FANTOM5 CAGEi
RNA expression in human tissues obtained through Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) generated by the FANTOM5 project are reported as Scaled Tags Per Million.
Max subtype Scaled Tags Per Millioni
Max subtype Scaled Tags Per Million is the value for the subtype with the largest average Scaled Tags Per Million across the subtype samples.
Max subtype nTPM is the value for the subtype with the largest average nTPM across the subtype samples.

TONGUE - Pig RNA-seqi
RNA-seq data obtained from pig brain is reported as nTPM. Normal distribution across the dataset is visualized with box plots, shown as median and 25th and 75th percentiles. Points are displayed as outliers if they are above or below 1.5 times the interquartile range. nTPM values of the individual samples are presented next to the box plot.
