Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, SULT1C4 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of SULT1C4’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where SULT1C4 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types SULT1C4 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD and LSCC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where SULT1C4 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
