Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TBC1D23 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 4 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TBC1D23’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where TBC1D23 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TBC1D23 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as PDAC and COAD show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD, LSCC, and PDAC are the cancer types where TBC1D23 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
