Marker genes
ABCA10, ABCA6, ABCA8, ABCA9, ACSM3, APOE, C7, CDH19, LAMA2, LTBP1, MTUS1, PLA2G5, PTN, SCN7A, SPARCL1, SPRY1
Annotation genes
ABCA8, APOE, LAMA2, PTN, SPARCL1
Annotation rationales
These fibroblasts combine ECM regulators (SPARCL1, LAMA2) with lipid shuttles (ABCA family, APOE). LTBP1 tethers latent TGF-β in matrix; PTN modulates endothelial/pericyte behavior.
Functional implications
Mediates lipid flux and growth-factor storage within interstitium; maintains basement-membrane composition and modulates angiogenesis and collagen spacing, especially where fat/ECM meet.
