This is consistent with a strong correlation between (EIF)4E-BP1 mRNA and protein levels in human cells, as evidenced by the analysis of Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) gene expression and corresponding protein array data (n = 887 cancer cell lines; r = 0.68; P = 5.2 × 10–22, by Pearson’s test). Here, EIF4EBP1 is linked to cancer.
