Anti-Sirt7 antibody produced in rabbit

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent histone deacetylase (Sir2) is one of the silent information regulator genes in yeast. It belongs to a family of proteins, that is found in organisms ranging from bacteria to complex eukaryotes. Proteins of this family share a core domain showing 25-60% sequence identity. The mammalian Sir2 gene family is comprised of seven members which are designated as Sirt1-7.

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 35-51 of human Sirt7, conjugated to KLH via a C-terminal cysteine residue. The sequence is identical in mouse.

Anti-Sirt7 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting analysis and immunofluorescence detection.

Sirt7 (sirtuin 7) is extensively found in protein associated with active rRNA genes (rDNA), in the nucleolus. It interacts with RNA polymerase I (Pol I) and histones. Overexpression of Sirt7 increases Pol I-mediated transcription, whereas knockdown of Sirt7 or inhibition of its catalytic activity results in decreased association of Pol I with rDNA and reduces Pol I transcription. Depletion of Sirt7 stops cell proliferation and triggers apoptosis. High levels of Sirt7 expression are associated with breast cancer.
