Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, MOB3C mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of MOB3C’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where MOB3C mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types MOB3C is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LSCC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LSCC, CCRCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where MOB3C tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
