NPTX2

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, NPTX2 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of NPTX2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.

The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where NPTX2 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types NPTX2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PDAC show the opposite, repressed pattern.

PDAC and CCRCC are the cancer types where NPTX2 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 NPTX2 mass-spec protein (log₂); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
