Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the ER overload response pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the PDAC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are NOLC1_S538, FBLN1, and DDX21_S121, each associated with the pathway in up to 6 cancer types. Since the analysis shows associations rather than directional relationships, both pathway-to-partner and partner-to-pathway views are reported.
Each partner is linked to its corresponding Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest association, ER overload response activity versus NOLC1_S538 in PDAC (Pearson r = -0.38).
