Annotation rationales
Basement-membrane/ECM assembly (COL4A1/2, THBS4, BGN) with APOE/APOC1 suggests stromal cells that both build scaffolds and handle lipoproteins at the adipocyte–capillary interface.
Functional implications
Scaffold engineers. Lay down and remodel basement membrane around enlarging adipocytes and vessels; facilitate lipid exchange with endothelium; stabilize expanding depots while limiting mechanical stress.
