C3, LAMB2, PLAC9
Annotation rationales
Basement-membrane and secretory features (LAMB2/PLAC9) with C3 (complement) indicate ASPCs specializing in ECM secretion and immune complement provisioning; lacks classical PI16/COL15A1 interstitial or CFD/ICAM1 preadipocyte signatures.
Functional implications
ECM-plus-immune support. Secretes laminin-rich matrices for capillaries/adipocytes and provides complement components for innate immunity; shapes endothelial–immune–stromal communication in the depot.
