Why this annotation

Top hub genes MYL12B and MYL12A (non-muscle myosin light chains) co-occur with CHMP5 and CHMP2B (ESCRT-III complex for endosomal membrane scission), RAB7A (late endosome identity GTPase), VAMP8 (vesicle-associated membrane protein for exocytic/endosomal fusion), and MAL2 (membrane raft protein involved in transcytosis). ACTB, CAP1, and TMSB4X provide actin dynamics supporting vesicle motility. This is a coherent endosomal vesicular trafficking program. The neighbor relationship with M79 (which shares ESCRT member CHMP2A and lysosomal genes) confirms a broader vesicular sorting neighborhood; M75 is the endosomal/exocytic arm while M79 is the lysosomal/autophagic arm.
