Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MAP3K20 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MAP3K20’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where MAP3K20 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MAP3K20 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, COAD, and LUAD are the cancer types where MAP3K20 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
