Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, TENM3 mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of TENM3’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where TENM3 mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types TENM3 is over-expressed in tumor.
PDAC and LSCC are the cancer types where TENM3 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
