Why this annotation

Hub genes include RTN3/RTN4 (ER-shaping reticulons), CANX (calnexin, ER chaperone), TMEM33 (ER membrane protein), PTDSS1 (phosphatidylserine synthase, ER-localized), CAPZA1 (actin capping), and SCARB2 (lysosomal membrane). The module is dominated by ER membrane-resident and membrane-shaping proteins. MAGT1 is a magnesium transporter in the ER membrane. SLC31A1 is a copper transporter. While mixed, the strongest theme is ER membrane organization and lipid/membrane homeostasis. All genes show weak membership and the module has unknown coherence, suggesting a loosely co-expressed housekeeping program in mono_mac cells.
