Table 2. The fecal host-secreted proteome is representative of global proteome composition across the GI tract.
Region | % Proteins found in feces that are found in region | % Proteins found in region that are found in feces |
---|---|---|
Stomach | 56.8 | 63.9 |
Jejunum | 61.9 | 54.4 |
Ileum | 54.0 | 57.4 |
Cecum | 68.3 | 60.4 |
Prox col | 66.7 | 63.9 |
Pairwise comparisons between the fecal proteome determined from Lichtman et al. (2013) and the proteome identified at each location along the GI tract.
