Immunoblotting studies on the cancer protein array of 431 specimens from 25 tumor samples and 15 normal samples per type of 11 human tissues with 5 dilutions of protein lysate in triplicates, and corresponding cancer cell lines demonstrated a significantly increased expression of NIBP protein in most organ tumors (Fig. 1C, S4A-C) and cancer cell lines (Fig. S4D) as compared with corresponding normal tissues. The gene discussed is TRAPPC9; the disease is cancer.
