Application

Rabbit Anti-SIRT5 antibody can be used for western blot (1-2µg/ml) and IHC (4-8µg/ml, using paraffin-embedded tissues) applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SIRT5 (Sirtuin 5) is associated with metabolism and aging process. It has been reported in a study that SIRT5 influences urea cycle pathway by NAD-dependent deacetylation and subsequent activation of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1), which plays a vital role in the initial step of urea cycle for the detoxification and removal of ammonia. In non-small cell-lung cancer cells. SIRT5 contributions have also been observed for the cancer cell growth and drug resistance. Study shows that SIRT5 may possess oncogenic property.

General description

SIRT5 (Sirtuin 5) is a mitochondrial matrix protein belonging to the class III of the sirtuin family. It is localized inside the mitochondria and within the cytosol and nucleus. The protein is widely expressed in the brain, heart, liver and kidney. It is composed of very short amino and carboxyl terminal sequences flanking region with the conserved, catalytic sirtuin center domain.
