Sirtuin 2/SIRT2: Activity Assays

Sirtuin 2, is a member of the class III histone deacetylases (HDACs) and has been implicated in many cellular processes that include histone deacetylation, gene silencing, chromosomal stability, and aging (3 - 4). The enzymatic activity of class III HDACs is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) dependent and insensitive to HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A.
