ST3GAL5

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, ST3GAL5 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 3 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of ST3GAL5’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.

The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where ST3GAL5 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types ST3GAL5 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LSCC and LUAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.

LSCC, PDAC, and LUAD are the cancer types where ST3GAL5 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 ST3GAL5 mass-spec protein (log₂); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
