Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, EPS8L1 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of EPS8L1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where EPS8L1 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types EPS8L1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as CCRCC and HNSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
PDAC, CCRCC, and COAD are the cancer types where EPS8L1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
