description Abstract Background PPP1R3G, a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1, plays a critical role in glycogen metabolism and has been implicated in various cancers. This study provides a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of PPP1R3G, evaluating its expression, diagnostic and prognostic significance, and potential as a therapeutic target. Methods We performed an extensive pan-cancer analysis of PPP1R3G using several databases to assess its expression and investigate its correlations with clinical outcomes. Our investigation included assessing PPP1R3G’s impact on survival, its correlation with immune checkpoints and tumor stemness scores, and its prognostic significance. We also explored its relationship with immunomodulators, genomic profiles, and immunological characteristics, as well as its response to immunotherapy and involvement in various biological pathways. Results PPP1R3G expression varied significantly across different cancers and correlated with both diagnostic and prognostic outcomes. Moreover, PPP1R3G was significantly linked to immune checkpoints, immunomodulators, prognosis, immunoregulatory genes, tumor stemness, cellular function, and immune infiltration across numerous cancer types. Further analysis of PPP1R3G-related gene enrichment, mutation profiles, RNA modifications, and genomic heterogeneity revealed that missense mutations were the predominant alteration affecting PPP1R3G. Conclusions Overall, the expression of PPP1R3G is closely associated with various cancers and may serve as a potential biomarker for cancer detection.
