Marker genes
ABLIM1, ACADVL, ASB5, BICD1, CA3, CD36, ESRRG, EXOC6, FEZ2, LGI1, LINC01091, LINC01405, MYL2, MYOM2, MYOZ2, PPP1R1C
Annotation genes
ACADVL, CD36, ESRRG, MYL2
Annotation rationales
ESRRG drives mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative enzymes; ACADVL (very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase) and CD36 route fatty acids to β-oxidation; MYL2/MYOZ2 reinforce slow-sarcomere mechanics.
Functional implications
Provides endurance torque using fatty acids as primary fuel, sparing glycogen; sustains long-duration rhythmic activity (walking, breathing), maintains capillary–mitochondrial matching, and produces heat efficiently while resisting ROS through tightly coupled respiration.
