Protein C-linked glycosylation

pathway activity — tumor vs normal
GO:0018103Tumor vs NormalRNA activityBox plot · TCGA cohorts

Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RNA activity of the Protein C-linked glycosylation pathway differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of the 18 cancer types tested.

The strongest signal is observed in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), where pathway activity is higher in tumor tissue than in matched normal tissue. In most cancer types, this pathway shows higher activity in tumors, although a few cancer types, such as THCA, show the opposite pattern, with lower activity in tumor tissue.

COAD, BLCA, and KIRC show the most reproducible tumor–normal differences in pathway activity.

Tumor vs normal pathway activity by lineage

Ranked by sampling consensus. Activity change represents the tumor-versus-normal difference in pathway activity on a log2 scale. Positive values indicate higher pathway activity in tumor tissue. The reported p-values are derived from the corresponding differential activity tests.
