Divergent expression levels comparing RNA versus protein

Glycoprotein VIb (only form present in platelets)

For GP6b (glycoprotein VIb (platelet) the mRNA level tends to be increased in mice, but the protein level shows clearly higher abundance in human (mouse higher in transcriptome whereas human higher in proteome)

SRC / Src protein kinase shows different mRNA and protein level regulation in man and mouse (human higher in transcriptome whereas mouse higher in proteome); the higher proteome expression has a clear effect on the switching behaviour of SRC as bistability switch (13)
