Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RPL26L1 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RPL26L1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), where RPL26L1 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RPL26L1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PDAC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
CCRCC, COAD, and PDAC are the cancer types where RPL26L1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
