Gene: SIRT4
Official Full Name: sirtuin 4provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sirtuin family of proteins, homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein. Members of the sirtuin family are characterized by a sirtuin core domain and grouped into four classes. The functions of human sirtuins have not yet been determined; however, yeast sirtuin proteins are known to regulate epigenetic gene silencing and suppress recombination of rDNA. Studies suggest that the human sirtuins may function as intracellular regulatory proteins with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. The protein encoded by this gene is included in class IV of the sirtuin family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SIRT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular systems engineered to lack the SIRT4 gene, which encodes a member of the sirtuin family of proteins known for their roles in cellular regulation, metabolism, and stress responses. This product enables researchers to explore the multifaceted functions of SIRT4, particularly its involvement in mitochondrial function, fatty acid metabolism, and the regulation of insulin secretion. By utilizing SIRT4 knockout models, scientists can investigate the gene’s contribution to metabolic diseases, aging, and associated pathogenic mechanisms, thereby uncovering potential therapeutic targets.
The key mechanism by which SIRT4 functions involves its enzymatic activities, which include deacetylation and ADP-ribosylation of various substrates. By creating cell lines that lack this gene, researchers can more clearly delineate the metabolic pathways influenced by SIRT4 and study the repercussions of its absence on cellular physiology. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of its role in mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic regulation.
Scientifically, the SIRT4 knockout cell lines are invaluable in both basic and applied research. They facilitate investigations into diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, enhancing the understanding of how mitochondrial health is intricately linked to systemic metabolism. These cell lines serve as a critical tool for drug discovery, enabling screening for new compounds that can modulate sirtuin activity.
Compared to alternative models, SIRT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer significant advantages, including a precise genetic alteration that reduces the variability often seen in knockdown models. They are also tailored for performance in specific assays related to metabolic functions, giving researchers confidence that their findings are reflective of true biological phenomena.
Investing in SIRT4 Gene Knockout Cell Lines translates to more robust and reproducible data, making them a critical resource for researchers and clinicians aiming to elucidate the complex networks involved in metabolic diseases. With our extensive experience in developing high-fidelity biological products, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge research tools designed to advance scientific discovery in metabolic research and beyond.
