Why this annotation

All top hub genes are canonical ER lumen residents: CALR (calreticulin, ER chaperone/Ca²⁺ buffer), PDIA3 and PDIA4 (protein disulfide isomerases), P4HB (PDI family), HSPA5/BiP (master ER chaperone, UPR sensor), HSP90B1/GRP94 (ER Hsp90), SEC61A1 and RPN1 (translocon complex), SURF4 (ERGIC cargo receptor), HDLBP (ER-associated). This is a textbook ER protein folding/unfolded protein response module. Strong coherence with all genes core/strong confirms tight co-regulation.

Genes

Most correlated modules

Module annotations were drafted by a large language model from the module's genes, then reviewed and approved by a domain expert. See sources & licences.
