Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector protein C (CIDEC) has a role in the differentiation of adipocytes. It associates with 5′ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α subunit 1 and acts as a negative regulator of the AMPK complex. CIDEC is also involved in lipid storage and it modulates the size of lipid droplets. The protein has been linked to obesity.

General description

DNA fragmentation factor (DFF) induces the fragmentation of DNA associated with apoptosis. A novel family of cell death-inducing DFF45 (MIM 601882)-like effectors (CIDEs), including CIDEC, can also promote apoptosis (Liang et al., 2003 [PubMed 12429024]).[supplied by OMIM
