  1. a An arbitrary scale of proteins cellular amounts based on the range of log2 LFQ intensities (between 19.6 and 34.0) within the sample: +++ highly abundant protein (log2 LFQ intensity: 29–34), ++ protein present in moderate amounts (24–28), + low abundant protein (19–23)
  2. b Label-free quantitative LFQ intensity of a protein is proportional to the quantity of the protein in the sample
  3. c Reference protein with high cellular abundance
