Description

General description

110 kDa; Uncharacterized bands 70 and 50 observed in some Lysates.

Sirtuins are a family of closely related enzymes named after the yeast gene Sir2 (silent mating type information regulation 2). Members of the Sirtuin family have been found in nearly all organisms studied. Sirtuins are hypothesized to play a key role in an organism′s response to stresses (such as heat or starvation) and to be responsible for the lifespan-extending effects of calorie restriction. Sirtuins act by removing acetyl groups from proteins in the presence of NAD+; they are thus classified as "NAD+-dependent deacetylases". Sirtuins have been implicated in the regulation of aging, transcription, apoptosis and stress resistance. Sirt1 (also known as Sirtuin 1, Sir2L1, and Sir2a), the mammalian homolog of yeast Sir2, has been shown to deacetylate and thereby deactivate the p53 protein to regulate cellular processes.

Preparation Note

1 year at -20°C from date of shipment.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

Analysis Note

Control
Jurkat cell lysate, human colon carcinoma or human lung squamous carcinoma.

Routinely evaluated by western blot on 3T3 nuclear extract.

Western Blot Analysis:
A 1:1000-1:5000 dilution of this lot detected Sirt1 in a 3T3 nuclear extract.
