SIRT4

SIRT4 is a protein found inside cells that helps regulate how they produce and use energy. It's part of a family called sirtuins, which are involved in aging, metabolism, and stress response. SIRT4 specifically influences mitochondrial function—the energy-producing structures in cells—by modifying other proteins to control processes like fat and sugar metabolism. This regulation helps maintain health, adapt to changes, and may protect against metabolic diseases. Overall, SIRT4 plays a crucial role in balancing energy use and supporting cell health.
