How is fpkm related to protein level?
I am quite new to RNA-seq. I downloaded the fmpk data from Allen Institute cell type database, trying to find genes for proteins that I am intereted. The dataset is from a collection of cells but measured using single cell RNA-seq. I wonder whether it is reseasonable to use fmpk numberical numbers as an estimate of protein level?
Thanks.

FPKMs are correlated with but not directly connectable to protein levels. Hence on a large scale I think you will find strong correlations but substantial variations may exists for each individual transcript.
