SLC27A6

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SLC27A6 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SLC27A6’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.

The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where SLC27A6 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SLC27A6 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as HNSC and LSCC show the opposite, repressed pattern.

HNSC, LSCC, and LUAD are the cancer types where SLC27A6 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.

mass-spec protein tumor vs normal associations by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in SLC27A6 mass-spec protein (log₂); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
