Nestin is a pan-EC enriched protein in the human adult. RNA-seq data from 176 individual samples from 37 different human tissues were used to generate Spearman pair wise correlation values between NES transcript expression and transcripts for all other mapped protein coding genes. Gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed on the 150 transcripts that were most highly correlated with NES: (A) the 10 most significant GO functional groupings and (B) a summary of GO functional groupings with removal of redundant terms (plot produced using REVIGO [http://revigo.irb.hr/] before modification). (C) Correlation plots showing the relationship between NES and the EC-enriched transcripts CLEC14A, ROBO4, TIE1, SOX17, TEK, ESAM, NRP1 and CD34. Correlation values and corresponding p-values are shown in the top left and bottom right of each scatter plot, respectively. Human tissue sections from (D) cerebral cortex, adrenal gland, thyroid, skeletal muscle, lung, tonsil, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, salivary gland, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, urinary bladder, adipose, placenta, ovary, testis, prostate and (E) heart, kidney and breast were stained for protein encoded by NES.
