SIRT3, is a mitochondrial protein that is synthesized as an enzymatically inactive protein. Human SIRT3 is activated by a matrix-processing peptidase. The constitutive expression of SIRT3 promotes the expression of PGC-1α, UCP1, and other genes involved in mitochondrial functions, indicating that SIRT3 modulates adaptive thermogenesis in BAT.
