Cidec - cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector c

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. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial partial lipodystrophy type 5. Orthologous to human CIDEC (cell death inducing DFFA like effector c).
