ACTIVATION AND ACTIVATORS OF SIRT5

摘要

The invention provides a method of increasing a deacetylase activity of SIRT5 by contacting SIRT5 with an agent that binds SIRT5 and reduces the Km of SIRT5 for a substrate, thereby increasing the deacetylase activity of SIRT5. The invention also provides a method for treating a urea cycle disorder in a mammal, as well as a method of assaying a sirtuin modulator.
