Gong J, Sun ZQ, and Li P. Cide proteins and metabolic Disorder. CURRENT OPINION IN LIPIDOLOGY (invited review), 20: 121-126, 2009

Abstract PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The cell death-inducing DFF45-like effector (CIDE) family proteins, comprising three members, Cidea, Cideb, and Fsp27 (Cidec), have emerged as important regulators for various aspects of metabolism. This review summarizes our current understanding about the physiological roles of CIDE proteins, their transcriptional regulations, and their underlying mechanism in controlling the development of metabolic disorders.......
