Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ 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._x000D_ Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) resides in the nucleus._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 723-736 of human SIRT1, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal cysteine residue._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Sirt1 (C-terminal) antibody has been used in_x000D_ • immunoblotting_x000D_ • immunoprecipitation_x000D_ • immunofluorescence_x000D_ • immunohistochemistry_x000D_ • western blotting_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ 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)._x000D_ 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).
