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]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the SIRT4 mRNA is a predicted target of the upregulated miRNA miR-339-5p and shows anticorrelated expression (Pearson r = -0.78) in left ventricular myocardium following acute ischemia during cardiac surgery [Saddic et al. DOI:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00049.2015]. In a separate human study of monozygotic twins, the SIRT4 expression was undetectable in subcutaneous adipose tissue samples from both heavier and leaner co-twins [Jukarainen et al. DOI:10.1210/jc.2015-3095].
