Why this annotation

Hub genes CAPZA1, CAPZA2, ACTR2 (Arp2/3 complex subunit), COTL1 (coactosin-like actin-binding), and CTNNA1 (alpha-catenin, actin-cadherin linker) collectively define an actin cytoskeletal regulation program. Supporting genes TMEM176A, TNIP1, and BHLHE41 indicate this occurs in homeostatic/anti-inflammatory macrophage-like cells. LRP10 contributes vesicular trafficking. All genes are core members with uniform expression, consistent with a constitutive cytoskeletal program in resident M_like cells rather than an activation or stress response.
