TMEM176B was highly expressed in gastric cancer (GC). a Analysis of normal human gastric mucosa cells (GES-1) and human GC cell lines (BGC-823 and NUGC-3) revealed significantly higher TMEM176B mRNA levels in BGC-823 and NUGC-3 cells than in GES-1 cells; b, c Western blot analysis revealed significantly upregulated TMEM176B protein levels in the BGC-823 and NUGC-3 cells than in the GES-1 cells, indicating elevated TMEM176B expression in GC. ***P < 0.001
