Entrez ID 63924
Gene name Cell death inducing DFFA like effector c
Gene symbol CIDEC
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CIDE-3CIDE3FPLD5FSP27
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3p25.3
Summary This gene encodes a member of the cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector family. Members of this family play important roles in apoptosis. The encoded protein promotes lipid droplet formation in adipocytes and may mediate adipocyte apo
