Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AKIRIN2 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 1 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of AKIRIN2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where AKIRIN2 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types AKIRIN2 is over-expressed in tumor.
LUAD are the cancer types where AKIRIN2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
