About SIRT6

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:4,174,109-4,182,563 (from NCBI)

This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 193 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 11.3), spleen (RPKM 5.1) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

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]
