Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, AP4E1 mass-spec protein is linked to patient survival in 6 of 34 cancer types, making it a survival-associated AP4E1 data layer compared with 25 for mass-spec protein and 5 for mutation status.
The strongest signal is observed in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC), where higher AP4E1 mass-spec protein is associated with better disease-free survival. In most high-consensus cancer types, elevated AP4E1 expression acts as an unfavorable survival marker, although some lineages such as UCEC and CCRCC show a favorable association.
UCEC, LUAD, and CCRCC are the cancer types where AP4E1 mass-spec protein most reproducibly stratifies survival.
