Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TBC1D32 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TBC1D32’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), where TBC1D32 mass-spec protein is repressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TBC1D32 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUAD and PDAC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
LUAD and PDAC are the cancer types where TBC1D32 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
