Abstract excerpt
SIRT1, a mammalian homologue for yeast silent information regulator 2 (SIR2), is a NAD(+) -dependent deacetylase that belongs to the class III histone deacetylases. It plays an important role in diverse cellular processes, including stress resistance, mitochondrial function, suppression of inflammation and DNA repair. In this study, we screened and identified a novel polymorphism (c.-274C>G) in the SIRT1 promoter...
