Sirtuin (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog) 1 (S. cerevisiae) (SIRT1), a member of the NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT family, is involved in the regulation of nuclear transcription of genes involve in energy metabolism. SIRT1 provides a link between cellular energy status sensing (NAD(+) status) and the regulation of energy homoeostasis. SIRT1 is involved in the regulation of metabolism, cell differentiation and senescence, stress response, and cancer.
Synonyms: Anti-Sirtuin (silent mating type information Regulation 2 homolog) 1 (S. cerevisiae)
Storage: -20C
Application: Rabbit polyclonal anti-SIRT1 antibody is used to tag sirtuin-1 for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of sirtuin-1 in NAD(+) status-dependent energy homeostasis at the level of nuclear transcription control and protein deacetylation.
Biochem Physiol Actions: SIRT1 is a member of the sirtuin family of proteins, homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein. Members of the sirtuin family are characterized by a sirtuin core domain and grouped into four classes. The functions of human sirtuins have not yet been determined;
