Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SKP1 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SKP1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where SKP1 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SKP1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD, CCRCC, and COAD are the cancer types where SKP1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
