Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a fundamental molecule in the regulation of energy metabolism, representing both a coenzyme and a substrate for different NAD+ degrading enzymes. Among these enzymes, CD38 can be seen under two perspectives: as the enzyme synthe-sizing Ca2+-mobilizing second messenger, starting from NAD+, and as the...

Abstract: Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase regulating important functions: modulators of its enzymatic activity have been considered as possible therapeutic agents. Besides the deacetylase activity, SIRT6 also has NAD+-dependent deacylase activity, whereby it regulates the secretion of cytokines and proteins. We identified...

Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a sirtuin family member involved in a wide range of physiologic and disease processes, including cancer and glucose homeostasis. Based on the roles played by SIRT6 in different organs, including its ability to repress the expression of glucose transporters and glycolytic enzymes, inhibiting SIRT6 has been proposed as an...
