Sirt4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables NAD+ poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; NAD-dependent protein lysine deacetylase activity; and lipoamidase activity. Involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; peptidyl-lysine deacetylation; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of insulin secretion. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; brain; gonad; respiratory system; and thyroid gland. Orthologous to human SIRT4 (sirtuin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Sirt4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • pentosyltransferase
  • NAD ADP-ribosyltransferase
  • linear amide carbon-nitrogen bond hydrolase
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • SIR2
