Accession numbers are from the UniProt Knowledge base (Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL), http://us.expasy.org/sprot/(spot 10 is from MSDB; http://csc-fserve.hh.med.ic.ac.uk/msdb.html). Mass/pI refers to predicted molecular mass (kDa) and isoelectric point of the protein using the program Compute pI/Mw (http://ca.expasy.org/cgi-bin/pi_tool). Peptide count refers to number of peptides that match the theoretical digest of the primary protein identified. Match score refers to quality of the peptide-mass fingerprint match and quality of the MS/MS peptide fragment ion matches (if MS/MS data were generated). Scores ≥ 95 are considered significant. Ion score is quality of MS/MS peptide fragment ion matches only (if MS/MS data were generated). Scores ≥ 20 are significant. Functions and subcellular localizations were inferred from literature searches, from the TargetP algorithm, and from Ingenuity software; exosome reference denotes literature citations of previous proteomic analyses for the given protein. 

a

Cytosolic protein that has been identified on tumor cell surfaces or extracellularly. 

b

Protein has been identified in numerous exosome types; only limited reference citations are shown. 

c

Cytosolic or nuclear protein that has known associations with intracellular membranes. 

d

Cytosolic protein that has known alternate extracellular or membrane localizations in normal cell types.
