Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ATP2C2 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ATP2C2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where ATP2C2 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ATP2C2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LSCC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LSCC and LUAD are the cancer types where ATP2C2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
