Observations
SIRT6 inhibition significantly reduced proliferation and increased SA-beta-galactosidase positive chondrocytes. SIRT6 inhibition also led to increased p16 levels. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that gamma-H2AX foci and TIFs were increased by SIRT6 inhibition.

    Common name

    Description
    This gene encodes a member of the sirtuin family of NAD-dependent enzymes that are implicated in cellular stress resistance, genomic stability, aging and energy homeostasis. The encoded protein is localized to the nucleus, exhibits ADP-ribosyl transferase and histone deacetylase activities, and plays a role in DNA repair, maintenance of telomeric chromatin, inflammation, lipid and glucose metabolism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
