Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RANBP9 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RANBP9’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where RANBP9 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RANBP9 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as HNSC and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LSCC, HNSC, and LUAD are the cancer types where RANBP9 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
