Expression pattern of Isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 (NAD+) alpha, (Idh3a), a representative example of a gene with a stereotypical energy metabolism pattern (SEMP). Idh3a (MH 965, 4C) is expressed widely in CNS, PNS, muscle, liver, kidney, lung, heart, pancreas, intestine, thymus, epithelia covering the alimentary and respiratory tract and whisker follicles. Relevant to the definition of SEMP is a relative regional elevation of expression, e.g. in the neocortex (nx), cranial ganglia (cg), dorsal root ganglia (drg), spinal cord (sc), heart (h), liver (li), lung (lu), intestine (i), salivary glands (sg) and muscles (m). Furthermore, a feature of a SEMP is the absence of expression in cartilage of the axial (ac) and appendicular skeletal anlage (not shown).
