Why this annotation

Hub genes include EIF5 (translation initiation), UBE2D3 and TRIM8 (ubiquitin pathway), SQSTM1 (autophagy receptor/p62), DNAJB6 (chaperone), HNRNPA0 (RNA binding), ZC3HAV1, and NUDT4. The module integrates ubiquitin-proteasome, autophagy (SQSTM1), and translation surveillance — collectively a proteostasis stress response. Uniform expression across glial subsets, increased in UC remission. Neighbor modules share ubiquitin (M30: UBC) and stress-response themes, consistent with a proteostasis network.
