Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, PLEKHF2 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of PLEKHF2’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where PLEKHF2 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types PLEKHF2 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as CCRCC and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, COAD, and LUAD are the cancer types where PLEKHF2 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
