Abstract excerpt
Silent mating-type information regulation 2 homologue 1 (SIRT1), a member of the class III histone deacetylase (HDAC) family, is the mammalian ortholog of yeast Sir2. It has been reported to play a key role in a variety of physiological processes such as genomic stability, metabolism, neurogenesis and cell survival. The deacetylase function of SIRT1 has been suggested to play a role in prolonging the life of...
