Gene symbolProteinFunctionDegree

GAPDHGlyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenaseThis enzyme plays an important role in glycolysis and nuclear functions.21
ENO1Alpha-enolaseAn enzyme that plays an important role in glycolysis, growth control, tolerance to hypoxia, and allergic responses.17
ACTBActin, cytoplasmic 1Conserved protein that produces filaments that form networks in the cytoplasm of cells.15
ATP5A1ATP synthase subunit alpha, mitochondrialEnzyme that produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient that is generated by electron transport complexes in the respiratory chain.11
EEF2Elongation factor 2It plays an important role in ribosomal translocation in the elongation of translation.10
PDIA3Protein disulfide-isomerase A3Participates in the rearrangement of disulfide bonds in proteins.10
