Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the L-glutamate import pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the COAD cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are MAP2K6, SMAP2_S235, and TDP1, each associated with the pathway in up to 5 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, L-glutamate import activity versus MAP2K6 in COAD (Pearson r = -0.34).
