Product details:
Human SIRT1 ELISA Kit ab171573 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human SIRT1 in cell culture extracts, tissue extracts. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 132 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Human SIRT1 SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

SIRT1 - silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog (homolog of yeast Sir2) – encodes a member of the sirtuins family of deacetylases. The sirtuin 1 protein (gene SIRT1) is responsible for epigenetic gene silencing after recruitment to the nucleus. Sirtuin1 deactylates proteins, including histones, in a wide (and growing) variety of processes in apoptosis and senescence, muscle differentiation and may serve as a cytosolic NAD+/NADH sensor. This enzyme may also regulate the circadian clock of the cell in response to metabolic conditions. SIRT1 is inhibited by nicotinamide and may be activated by resveratrol, a component of red wine. Resveratrol may participate in activation of sirtuin proteins, and may therefore participate in an extended lifespan as it has been observed in yeast.

SIRT1 also known as Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 is a NAD-dependent deacetylase enzyme. SIRT1 weighs approximately 120 kDa and plays an important role in regulating transcription apoptosis and stress resistance. Researchers have found SIRT1 in various tissues with higher expression in the heart brain and skeletal muscle. It is a component of the larger family of sirtuins which are involved in metabolic regulation and aging.
Biological function summary
SIRT1 modulates several cellular processes such as gene silencing DNA repair and lifespan extension. SIRT1 participates in complexes with other proteins including histones and transcription factors to influence chromatin structure and gene expression. It acts through deacetylation of target proteins affecting their function and stability. The activity of SIRT1 is also linked to environmental and cellular conditions including caloric intake and oxidative stress.
Pathways
SIRT1 is integral in the regulation of metabolic and longevity pathways. It interacts with the FOXO family proteins and the tumor suppressor protein p53 aiding in response to cellular stress and metabolic demands. The role of SIRT1 in the insulin signaling pathway exemplifies its influence on glucose homeostasis and energy balance. These interactions highlight its importance in metabolic health and aging.
SIRT1 links to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes. In Alzheimer's disease SIRT1 interacts with the amyloid precursor protein suggesting a protective role against amyloid-beta accumulation. Additionally studies have shown connections between SIRT1 and insulin receptor substrates highlighting its role in managing insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in diabetes. Understanding SIRT1's functions offers potential therapeutic targets for these disorders.
