15 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Sir2 is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase, which regulates life span in multiple model organisms in response to caloric restriction. Mammalian homologues of Sir2 comprise a family of seven proteins termed sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7), which have gained considerable attention for their impact on several important physiological processes associated with metabolism and stress resistance. In addition, recent studies point to...
