Why this annotation

Hub genes FDPS (mevalonate/isoprenoid pathway), ECH1 (fatty acid oxidation), LYPLA1 (lysophospholipase), UQCC2 (mitochondrial respiratory chain assembly), and TIMM13 (mitochondrial protein import) collectively point to lipid and isoprenoid metabolism with mitochondrial support. FDPS is the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol/prenylation biosynthesis; ECH1 catalyzes FAO; LYPLA1 processes lysophospholipids. Moderate coherence and many weak memberships suggest a mixed lipid metabolic program. ILC1 enrichment is consistent across the batch.
