General description

CIDEC (cell death inducing DFFA (DNA fragmentation factor subunit α) like effector c) is mapped to human chromosome 3p25.3. The gene codes for FSP27 (fat-specific protein 27), also known as CIDEC. The encoded protein is localized to the lipid droplets surface. The gene is predominantly expressed in white adipose tissues and also expressed in liver and kidney.

Immunogen

CIDEC (NP_071377.2, 53 a.a. ~ 141 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CIDEC (cell death inducing DFFA (DNA fragmentation factor subunit α) like effector c) might be responsible for adipocytes differentiation. It is involved in the regulation of lipid droplet morphology and controls the lipid droplets size by inhibiting lipolysis. It is responsible for the triglycerides buildup in adipocytes. Upregulation of the gene is observed in obesity. Overexpression of the gene decreases the fatty acid oxidation (FAO) rate.
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.
