We analysed hCINAP expression in colorectal cancers (CRC) based on the TCGA COAD (Colon adenocarcinoma) and READ (Rectum adenocarcinoma) cancer types, and found that the level of hCINAP protein was significantly higher in tumour tissue than that in adjacent non-tumour tissue (Supplementary Fig. 1d). The gene discussed is AK6; the disease is rectum adenocarcinoma.
