Visual Inventory of Surface N-glycoproteins (VISUN)

Quick Stats:

>90 human cell types

>30 rodent cell types

>2700 cell surface glycoproteins

>800 experiments

The Visual Inventory of Surface N-glycoproteins (VISUN (pronounced vision)) is a compendium of experimentally verified cell surface proteins, currently >2,600 proteins.

VISUN contains data from classic CSC, μCSC and similar experimental workflows that have been applied to a wide variety of human and rodent cell lines and primary cell types, including published and unpublished data. VISUN continues to grow as we analyze new cell types. All MS data are processed through Veneer, our standardized bioinformatics platform for consistent analyses that applies high stringency criteria to classify identified proteins as cell surface N-glycoproteins.

VISUN provides a rapid strategy to identify proteins that are ubiquitously expressed among a wide range of cell types, as well as those that are more restricted to a specific cell type, disease status, or lineage.
