Marker genes
IFI6, IL2RG, LGALS2, LYZ, SDS, SPARC
Annotation genes
IFI6, IL2RG, LYZ
Annotation rationales
IFI6 (ISG) and LYZ (antibacterial enzyme) denote antimicrobial vigilance; IL2RG ensures responsiveness to γ-chain cytokines (IL-2/4/7/9/15/21). Annotation genes support anti-pathogen activity in adipose depots.
Functional implications
Detect and curb microbial/viral incursions within fat, shaping local immunity via γ-chain cytokines (IL2RG) while degrading bacteria (LYZ).
