    text
  • localization to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lipid droplets (LD), and also localized to the Golgi apparatus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector B
  • putatively involved in apoptotic DNA fragmentation
  • inducing cell death in a caspase-dependent manner through cytochrome c release from mitochondria
  • important regulator in the development of obesity and diabetes by controlling fatty acid synthesis and VLDL secretion in hepatocytes
  • is a novel regulator in controlling cholesterol homeostasis in the liver
  • present in pancreatic beta-cells and involved in palmitate induced beta-cell apoptosis
  • CIDEB and PLIN2 play opposing roles in controlling VLDL lipidation and hepatic lipid homeostasis
  • direct requirement of CIDEB in VTV (very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) transport vesicle) formation
  • potential role in VLDL transport from the ER to the Golgi
  • mediates lipid droplet (LD) fusion, as well as very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) maturation
  • play a critical role in maintaining hepatic lipid homeostasis by promoting the lipidation and maturation of VLDL particles
  • plays an important role in controlling intestinal chylomicron lipidation

    protein
  • DFFA/DFFB complex
  • PPARGC1A plays an important role in partitioning cytoplasmic Triglycerdes toward the VLDL secretory compartments and promoting VLDL secretion via transcriptional induction of CIDEB
  • interacts with APOB100 in the ER, whereas it does not interact with albumin, which is excluded from the VTV
  • CIDEB is an essential cofactor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into hepatocytes
