Facts about Cell death activator CIDE-3.
The transfer direction might be driven by the internal pressure difference between the contacting lipid droplet pair. Its role in neutral lipid transfer and lipid droplet enlargement is activated by the interaction with PLIN1.

Expressed almost exclusively in adipose tissue, including subcutaneous and epididymal white adipose tissue (at protein level). Although abundantly present in brown adipose tissue at the mRNA level, the protein is almost undetectable in this tissue (PubMed:18654663), or at moderate levels (PubMed:22245780, PubMed:12910269). Expressed in the mammary gland, in stromal adipose tissue, but becomes undetectable at the end of pregnancy and during lactation (at protein level). Expressed at low levels in skeletal muscle and heart.
