Marker genes
C1QBP, DYNLL1, EIF4A1, EIF5A, HNRNPA3, KRT5, RPL21, RPL27, RPL4, S100A16, SFN, SNRPD1, YWHAZ
Annotation genes
KRT5, S100A16, SFN, YWHAZ
Annotation rationales
KRT5 marks basal-like epithelial identity; SFN and YWHAZ control checkpoints and cytoskeletal dynamics; robust ribosomal/translation genes reflect proliferative capacity for barrier renewal; C1QBP/EIF factors support mitochondrial and translational efficiency.
Functional implications
Supplies a cycling pool that replenishes the granular layers, replacing shed cells and repairing microabrasions; sustains keratin production and scaffold proteins to maintain a resilient, self-renewing ectocervical barrier.
