SIRT1 (human recombinant)

Stability : 9 months
Formulation :
50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.2, containing 100 mM sodium chloride and 20% glycerol
Description :
SIRT1, which is located in the nucleus, is the human sirtuin with the greatest homology to yeast Sir2 (Silent information regulator 2) and has been shown to regulate the activity of the p53 tumor suppressor and inhibit apoptosis. These results have significant implications regarding an important role of SIRT1 in modulating the sensitivity of cells in the p53-dependent apoptotic response and the possible effect in cancer therapy. Since the growth suppressive function of p53 is strongly enhanced by DNA damaging reagents, it is expected that inhibitors of SIRT1 may be effective anti-cancer drugs.
