This finding led to an analysis of expression levels of HsSAS-6 in various cancer types that were catalogued in publicly available TCGA RNA-Seq databases; the analysis found that HsSAS-6 is overexpressed in numerous cancer tissues when compared to normal non-cancerous tissues; tissues determined to show overexpressed HsSAS-6 included bladder, kidney, breast, lung, prostate and pancreas [125]. Here, SASS6 is linked to cancer.
