Marker genes
GZMK, IL7R, KLRB1, RORA
Annotation genes
IL7R, KLRB1, RORA
Annotation rationales
IL7R supports resting survival; KLRB1 (CD161) and RORA define MAIT identity; GZMK marks modest cytotoxic readiness without full effector switch. The trio (IL7R, KLRB1, RORA) is the baseline MAIT program.
Functional implications
Provide low-noise surveillance for microbial metabolites with rapid cytokine recall (IL-17/IFN-γ) upon MR1-mediated activation.
