Modulation of SIRT6 activity acts as an emerging therapeutic implication for pathological disorders in the skeletal system
12 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
The skeletal system is a dynamically balanced system, which undergoes continuous bone resorption and formation to maintain bone matrix homeostasis. As an important ADP-ribosylase and NAD+-dependent deacylase, SIRT6 (SIR2-like protein 6) is widely expressed on various kinds of bone cells, such as chondrocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts. The aberration of SIRT6 impairs gene expression (e.g., NF-κB and Wnt target...
