Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AKT1S1 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of AKT1S1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where AKT1S1 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types AKT1S1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
COAD, CCRCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where AKT1S1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
