The AAMDC gene encodes an AMDC or Adipogenesis Associated Mth938 Domain Containing protein that is integral to various cellular processes. The protein is involved in lipid metabolism, specifically adipogenesis, and plays a role in signal transduction as an oncoprotein.[1]

The AAMDC protein is found in both the cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments of the cell.[2]
