SARM1 Forefronts Research into Major Neurological Diseases
Monday, 19 December 2022
SARM1 [Sterile alpha & toll/interleukin receptor (TIR) motif-containing protein 1] consists of a N-terminal mitochondrial localization sequence (NLS), an autoinhibitory HEAT/armadillo (ARM) domain, two tandem sterile alpha motif domains (SAMs), and a C-terminal toll/interleukin receptor domain (TIR). It is a human toll like receptor (TLR) adaptor protein. TLR adaptors (MYD88, MAL, TRIF, & TRAM) usually

SIRT2 Isoforms in Neurodegenerative Diseases & Cancer
Tuesday, 29 November 2022
Silent information regulator type 2 (Sirtuin 2 or SIRT2) is a highly evolutionarily conserved NAD+ dependent deacetylase. SIRT2 is the only Sirtuin that acts in the cytosol. It expresses in almost all tissues, but most abundantly in the central nervous system. While SIRT2 is classified as a type III histone deacetylase, it is also capable
