• Background
  SIRT6 or Sirtuin 6 proteins are a class of proteins that possess either histone deacetylase or mono-ribosyltransferase activity. SIRT6 is a nuclear sirtuin that has been associated with aging, cellular protection, sugar metabolism and certain types of cancer. Broad therapeutic applications are foreseen for SIRT6 inhibitors, including uses in diabetes, immune-mediated disorders, and cancer. Unlike other known protein deacetylases, which simply hydrolyze acetyl-lysine residues, the sirtuin-mediated deacetylation reaction hydrolyzes acetyl-lysine and NAD. This hydrolysis yields the deacetylated substrate, O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and nicotinamide, itself an inhibitor of sirtuin activity. Studies suggest that the human sirtuins may function as intracellular regulatory proteins with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. In BioVision’s Sirtuin 6 inhibitor screening Kit, Sirtuin 6 deacetylates the substrate, followed by cleavage of the deacetylated substrate to release the fluorescent group, which is detected fluorometrically at Ex/Em = 395/541 nm. In the presence of SIRT inhibitor, deacetylation is impeded, preventing cleavage of the substrate and release of the fluorescent group. This kit provides a rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable test, which is suitable for high-throughput screening of SIRT6 inhibitors. Inhibitor control (Nicotinamide) is included to compare the efficacy of the test inhibitors.

• Additional description
  Tissue, pathway, proteinase, peptidase, protease ,acrosin, lipoprotein, activator, caspase, trypsin, papain, esterase inhibitors are proteins or receptor ligands or receptor antagonists that bind to an enzyme receptor and decreases its activity. Since blocking an enzyme's activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. Not all receptor antagonist that bind to enzymes are inhibitors; enzyme activator ligands or agonists bind to enzymes and increase their enzymatic activity, while enzyme substrates bind and are converted to products in the normal catalytic cycle of the enzyme.
