CTRC

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CTRC mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CTRC’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.

The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where CTRC mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CTRC is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PDAC and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.

PDAC and COAD are the cancer types where CTRC tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.

mass-spec protein tumor vs normal associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in CTRC mass-spec protein (log₂); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
