Twelve proteins that changed similarly in both tumours included up-regulation of rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 2, proteasome subunit α type 3, transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3, mitochondrial ornithine aminotransferase and epidermal fatty acid binding protein and down-regulation of adenylosuccinate synthetase, tubulin β-3 chain, a 25 kDa actin fragment, proteasome subunit β type 9, cofilin-1 and glia maturation factor γ. Here, OAT is linked to neoplasm.
