Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CEPT1 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CEPT1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where CEPT1 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CEPT1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PDAC and OV show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, PDAC, and COAD are the cancer types where CEPT1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
