Sirt5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including NAD+ binding activity; NAD-dependent protein lysine deacylase activity; and protein-malonyllysine demalonylase activity. Involved in negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process and response to nutrient levels. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane and mitochondrial intermembrane space. Predicted to be active in cytosol; mitochondrial matrix; and nucleus. Orthologous to human SIRT5 (sirtuin 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 rat Sirt5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
