Biochem/physiol Actions

Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is a NAD-dependent deacetylase which has been implicated in the regulation of several transcription factors, including p53, forkhead box protein O (FOXO), nuclear factor kappa-B (NFκB), myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2 (Mef2), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α).

SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) functions as a regulator of various metabolic pathways, and influences the pathophysiology of several metabolic diseases. It is a regulator of protein deacetylation, and is a candidate therapeutic target in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), kidney disease, and pulmonary disease. It also participates in tumorigenesis, and whether it functions as an oncogene or as a tumor suppressor depends upon the tumor type. In ancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) its elevated expression is linked with poor prognosis, and innon-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) it suppresses the expression of tumor suppressor p27. It is also thought to function as a suppressor of cardiovascular disorders, such as myocardial infarction, or neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer′s disease (AD) or Parkinson′s disorder (PD).

General description

SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) belongs to the silent information regulator (SIR) 2 family and is a class to HDAC (histone deacetylase). It is expressed in various tissues including brain, liver, pancreas, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. SIRT1 is also known as the longevity gene.

Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) resides in the nucleus.
