Marker genes
ABCG2, AQP8, CDA, CEACAM7, CLCA4, DHRS9, FABP1, GDA, HDAC9, HPGD, MS4A12, PLAC8, SELENOP, SLC26A3, SLC30A10, SLC51A, SLC51B, TMIGD1, TRIM31
Annotation genes
AQP8, CLCA4, FABP1, SLC26A3, SLC51A
Annotation rationales
DRA/SLC26A3 with CLCA4 and AQP8 implement Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ exchange and water flux; OSTα/β (SLC51A/B) mediates bile acid export; FABP1 supports fatty-acid handling; SELENOP supplies antioxidant selenium.
Functional implications
Executes chloride–bicarbonate exchange and osmotic water flow while trafficking bile acids and dietary lipids typical of distal colon; supports stool dehydration, electrolyte balance, and luminal detoxification.
