Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RAB3IP mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RAB3IP’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where RAB3IP mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RAB3IP is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PDAC and LSCC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
PDAC, LSCC, and HNSC are the cancer types where RAB3IP tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
