Figure 1.

Tissue-specific functions of CIDE proteins in mice. Each CIDE protein is indicated with colored rectangles. The known functions within respective tissues are listed at the end of arrows which pass by them (Cidea: adipocytes, liver, mammary glands, and sebaceous glands; Cideb: liver; Fsp27: adipocytes, chondrocytes, and liver). Green up-arrows indicate an increase; red down-arrows indicate a decrease. Dotted line indicates that Fsp27 and Cidea could form a heteromeric complex, which could be essential for one or more of their functions.
