ADIG Gene Summary [Human]
ADIG/SMAF1 is an adipocyte-specific protein that plays a role in adipocyte differentiation (Kim et al., 2005 [PubMed 15567149]; Hong et al., 2005 [PubMed 16132694]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

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 ADIG often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
