SIRT2

SIRT2 is a protein found in our cells that acts like a tiny molecular regulator, helping control how cells grow, divide, and respond to stress. It belongs to a group called sirtuins, which are involved in aging, energy use, and protecting cells from damage. SIRT2 mainly resides in the cell's cytoplasm and influences processes like cleaning up damaged proteins and regulating cell division. Its activity has been linked to aging, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer, making it an important focus of research for understanding health and disease.
