Why this annotation

Key hub genes SCARB2 (lysosomal integral membrane protein LIMP-2), SLC17A5 (sialin, lysosomal sialic acid transporter), LITAF (lysosome-associated and NF-κB-linked trafficking regulator), RETREG1 (FAM134B, ER-phagy/reticulophagy receptor), STX12 (syntaxin-12, endosomal/recycling vesicle fusion), CHMP2A (ESCRT-III, shared with neighbor M75), and NDFIP2 (Nedd4-family adaptor for ubiquitin-mediated lysosomal targeting) collectively define a lysosomal and autophagic trafficking program. WASL (N-WASP) and PDLIM1 contribute actin remodeling for autophagosome/lysosome dynamics. HIGD1A suggests a mild hypoxic/metabolic stress context activating this pathway. INAVA and CXADR link to epithelial barrier maintenance. The module is a lysosomal/autophagy trafficking program, distinguished from neighbor M75's endosomal sorting by its lysosomal membrane proteins and reticulophagy receptor.
