Identification and annotation of the putative MCT-related candidate gene set. A BLAST annotation status of the whole set of the 94 genes that were identified as overexpressed in both the whole arm (in comparison to the stomach) and in the inner arm core (in comparison to the whole arm). The box indicates novel genes with unknown function. B Signal peptide presence (as predicted by the SignalP tool [43]) in a subset of 46 novel genes (those that had no associated BLAST hit or were recovered as either uncharacterized proteins or hypothetical proteins boxed are in (A)). C Cellular/extracellular localization of the protein products encoded by the subset of 46 novel candidate genes with unknown function (i.e., the same subset as in (B) and boxed area in (A)), as predicted by the DeepLoc tool [44]
