Description
The polyclonal antibody reacts with SIRT1; the antibody was raised against a peptide mapping to the carboxy terminal domain of human SIRT1. The Sir2 protein in yeast is known to function in transcriptional silencing processes through the deacetylation of histones H3 and H4 (1). The more recently described human homologue of Sir2, known as SIRT1, has been found to associate with the tumor suppressor protein p53 (1-3). SIRT1 binds and deacetylates p53 with specificity for its C-terminal Lys382 residue in response to the upregulation of promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) nuclear bodies or oncogenic Ras (2&3). The deacetylation of p53 SIRT1 has been shown to negatively regulate p53-mediated transcription, preventing cellular senescence and apoptosis induced by DNA damage and stress (1-3).
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. Purified anti-human SIRT1 poly has been reported for use in immunoblotting (WB).
Applications Tested
Purified anti-human SIRT1 poly has been tested by immunoblotting (WB). (1:400 starting dilution). It is recommended that this antibody be titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
