Sirtuin-activating compound. Sirtuin-activating compounds ( STAC) are chemical compounds having an effect on sirtuins, a group of enzymes that use NAD+ to remove acetyl groups from proteins. They are caloric restriction mimetic compounds that may be helpful in treating various aging -related diseases. [ 1]
Sirtuin. Sirtuins are a family of signaling proteins involved in metabolic regulation. [ 2][ 3] They are ancient in animal evolution and appear to possess a highly conserved structure throughout all kingdoms of life. [ 2] Chemically, sirtuins are a class of proteins that possess either mono- ADP-ribosyltransferase or deacylase activity ...
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6 or Sirt6) is a stress responsive protein deacetylase and mono-ADP ribosyltransferase enzyme encoded by the SIRT6 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] In laboratory research, SIRT6 appears to function in multiple molecular pathways related to aging, including DNA repair, telomere maintenance, glycolysis and inflammation . [ 5 ]
Sirtuin 3. NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-3, mitochondrial also known as SIRT3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIRT3 gene [sirtuin (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog) 3 (S. cerevisiae)]. [ 5][ 6] SIRT3 is member of the mammalian sirtuin family of proteins, which are homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein.
By Puyaan Singh and Leroy Leo. (Reuters) -The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved Gilead Sciences' liver disease treatment, Livdelzi, which it gained through a $4.3 billion ...
Doping in sport. The government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) conducted a decades-long program of coercive administration and distribution of performance-enhancing drugs, initially testosterone, later mainly anabolic drugs, to its elite athletes. The aim of the program, which began in the 1960s, was to bolster East Germany's state ...
Sirtuin 1, also known as NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIRT1 gene. [5] [6] [7]SIRT1 stands for sirtuin (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog) 1 (S. cerevisiae), referring to the fact that its sirtuin homolog (biological equivalent across species) in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is Sir2.
Sirtuin (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog) 5 (S. cerevisiae), also known as SIRT5 is a protein which in humans in encoded by the SIRT5 gene and in other species by the orthologous Sirt5 gene. [5] This gene encodes a member of the sirtuin family of proteins, homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein.
