Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC22A23 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SLC22A23’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where SLC22A23 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SLC22A23 is over-expressed in tumor.
LSCC and CCRCC are the cancer types where SLC22A23 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
