Why this annotation

All genes are strongly enriched in pre_tuft cells. Hub genes include DHFR (folate/nucleotide biosynthesis), GFPT1 (hexosamine biosynthesis), ACSL5 (fatty acid-CoA ligation), MPC1 (mitochondrial pyruvate import), MRPL32 (mitochondrial translation), ACTL6A (BAF chromatin remodeling), and MAP2K6 (stress MAPK). Together these reflect a biosynthetic and metabolic program supporting pre-tuft progenitor state, with folate metabolism, lipid activation, and mitochondrial function as key themes.
