Gene ID: 14311 | Gene type: protein coding

About Cidec

Summary

Predicted to be involved in execution phase of apoptosis; lipid droplet organization; and regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; endocrine gland; hemolymphoid system gland; integumental system; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial partial lipodystrophy type 5. Orthologous to human CIDEC (cell death inducing DFFA like effector c).
