To further elucidate the molecular mechanisms of STRIP2 in NSCLC, we performed immunoprecipitation assay coupled with mass spectrometry to screen STRIP2-interacting proteins (Fig. 6a), and the results indicated that IGF2BP3 is a putative STRIP2-binding protein (Fig. 6b and Additional files Table S3). The gene discussed is STRIP2; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
