Key elements and design rationale

• Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
• Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human SIRT6 recombinant protein (Position: D14-E180). Human SIRT6 shares 95% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse SIRT6. (reported region: D14-E180).
• Molecular weight context: reported MW: 39-42 kDa; calculated MW: 39,119 MW
• Reactivity: Human,Mouse
• Applications: IHC, WB

As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.

Biological background

NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-6; NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-6. SIRT6 is also known as SIR2L6. 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Functional note: NAD-dependent protein deacetylase. Has deacetylase activity towards histone H3K9Ac and H3K56Ac. Modulates acetylation of histone H3 in telomeric chromatin during the S-phase of the cell cycle. Deacetylates histone H3K9Ac at NF-kappa-B target promoters and may down-regulate the expression of a subset of NF- kappa-B target genes. Acts as a corepressor of the transcription factor HIF1A to control the expression of multiple glycolytic genes to regulate glucose homeostasis. Required for genomic stability. Regulates the production of TNF protein. Has a role in the regulation of life span (By similarity). Deacetylation of nucleosomes interferes with RELA binding to target DNA. May be required for the association of WRN with telomeres during S-phase and for normal telomere maintenance. Required for genomic stability. Required for normal IGF1 serum levels and normal glucose homeostasis. Modulates cellular senescence and apoptosis. On DNA damage, promotes DNA end resection via deacetylation of RBBP8. Has very weak deacetylase activity and can bind NAD (+) in the absence of acetylated substrate. . Reported localization: Nucleus, nucleoplasm . Predominantly nuclear. Associated with telomeric heterochromatin regions.

Research relevance and current trends

• Acetylation: Researchers commonly examine how SIRT6 (NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-6) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
• Apoptosis: Researchers commonly examine how SIRT6 (NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-6) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
• Atherosclerosis: Researchers commonly examine how SIRT6 (NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-6) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

Common research applications

• Western blotting: compare relative SIRT6 (NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-6) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
• IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of SIRT6 (NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-6) across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
• Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Family / similarity context: Belongs to the sirtuin family. Class IV subfamily.
• Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
• Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
