Adig Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; positive regulation of fat cell differentiation; and white fat cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm; lipid droplet; and nucleus. Is expressed in gut and male reproductive gland or organ. Orthologous to human ADIG (adipogenin).

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 mouse 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.
