Abstract excerpt
The family of mammalian Sirtuin proteins comprises seven members homologous to yeast Sir2. Here we show that SIRT2, a cytoplasmic sirtuin, is the most abundant sirtuin in adipocytes. Sirt2 expression is downregulated during preadipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells. Overexpression of SIRT2 inhibits differentiation, whereas reducing SIRT2 expression promotes adipogenesis. Both effects are accompanied by...
