CIDEB Gene Summary [Human]
Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; positive regulation of cell death; and positive regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Acts upstream of or within apoptotic process. Located in cytosol and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human CIDEB often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
