To the Editor:

A growing trend in protein quantification is a targeted mass spectrometry (MS)-based technology called multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) or selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Here, we present the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) Assay Portal (http://assays.cancer.gov/), a public repository of well-characterized, MS-based, targeted proteomic assays.
