Across TCGA patient cohorts, ACE2 protein abundance is significantly associated with the protein abundance of many other proteins, with 7,641 significant associations in total. CCRCC shows the largest number of these associations.
The most reproducible ACE2-associated proteins across cancer lineages are APC_S2260, ACSS2, and SLC25A15. Each is linked with ACE2 in more than 2 cancer types. Because this analysis shows association rather than direction, both ACE2-to-partner and partner-to-ACE2 results are reported.
Each partner links to its own Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest example, ACE2 versus APC_S2260 in COAD, with a Pearson correlation of -0.49.
