Why this annotation

MAP1LC3B is the canonical autophagosome marker (LC3B), directly involved in autophagy. PSAP (prosaposin) is a lysosomal protein essential for sphingolipid degradation. APLP2 (amyloid precursor-like protein 2) is involved in vesicular trafficking and has roles in autophagy regulation. CHP1 (calcineurin-like EF-hand protein) regulates NHE1 and vesicular pH. GOLM1 (Golgi membrane protein 1) is a Golgi-resident protein involved in vesicular trafficking. CYB5R3 (cytochrome b5 reductase 3) is involved in lipid desaturation and methemoglobin reduction. YWHAH (14-3-3 eta) regulates autophagy and apoptosis signaling. TOP1 (topoisomerase I) is a housekeeping nuclear enzyme. The convergence of MAP1LC3B, PSAP, APLP2, and GOLM1 strongly supports an autophagy/lysosomal trafficking program.
