Figure 1

Boxplot showing relative levels of GOAT/ MBOAT4 mRNA expression. Expression in normal prostate tissue (denoted N) and prostate cancer tissue (stages II to IV) performed using an OriGene TissueScan qPCR Prostate Cancer panel. Data were normalised to β-actin and are represented as fold changes relative to expression of transcripts in a normal prostate sample (1.0). GOAT was not differentially expressed in any group (Kruskal-Wallis test; over all p = 0.56).
