Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a family of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases (HDACs). In mammals, dysfunction of SIRTs is associated with age-related metabolic diseases, cancers, and even aging. Therefore, the detection of SIRT activity in living cells or tissues would be helpful for diagnosis of a wide range of SIRT-associated diseases. Here, we present methodology to measure SIRT activity in living cells by using our newly developed SIRT fluorescence probe, KST-F-DA.Entities:
