Abstrakt: Membrane transporters are proteins responsible for facilitating the movement of molecules within biological membranes. They play a vital role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating the transport of nutrients, ions, and other molecules into and out of cells. Our aim is to identify biomarkers in colorectal cancer using membrane transporter proteins. We utilized COAD TCGA data for this purpose. Subsequently, we conducted differential gene analysis and feature selection using membrane transporter proteins. Furthermore, we identified two potential genes, including ANO7 and SLC38A4. To validate the expression profiles of ANO7 and SLC38A4, key genes in this context, RT-qPCR was employed on colorectal cancer samples and adjacent normal tissues. Additionally, utilizing GEPIA2, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and cBioPortal, we assessed the status of these genes in various cancers, examining their methylation and mutation patterns. In conclusion, we suggest that ANO7 and SLC38A4 serve as prognostic biomarkers in colorectal cancer.
