An Internal Standard-Assisted Synthesis and Degradation Proteomic Approach Reveals the Potential Linkage between VPS4B Depletion and Activation of Fatty Acid β-Oxidation in Breast Cancer Cells

Table 2

Decreased protein synthesis and increased protein degradation contribute to decreased protein expression in SKBR3_shVPS4B cells.

Number of proteins*Percentage (%)

Decreased synthesis only718.4
Increased degradation only615.8
