Sirtuin-6 (SIRT6) is a NAD-dependent deacetylase that belongs to the sirtuin family of proteins, which are homologs of the yeast Sir2 protein. SIRT6 plays key roles in chromatin regulation, DNA repair, and metabolic homeostasis by deacetylating histones and other nuclear proteins. This enzyme is particularly important in maintaining genomic stability and has been linked to aging processes, cancer development, and metabolic disorders. SIRT6 localizes primarily to heterochromatin and functions as a tumor suppressor by regulating glucose metabolism and preventing oncogenic transformation.
The Human NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-6 ELISA kit (CSB-E17018h) uses a quantitative sandwich measurement principle for detecting SIRT6 in human samples. This assay works with serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, and tissue homogenates. The detection range spans 3.12 pg/mL to 200 pg/mL with sensitivity of 0.78 pg/mL. The protocol requires 50-100 μL sample volume and can be completed within 1-5 hours, with detection performed at 450 nm wavelength.

This ELISA kit has been used in research studies to quantify human sirtuin-6 levels in serum and plasma samples. Applications include comparative studies examining sirtuin-6 concentrations across different populations and multi-analyte profiling approaches that measure sirtuin-6 alongside inflammatory markers.
• Serum biomarker quantification: Measurement of circulating sirtuin-6 levels in human serum samples for comparative analysis between study groups
• Multi-analyte inflammatory profiling: Combined measurement of sirtuin-6 with pro-inflammatory cytokines and their receptors to evaluate interconnected biological pathways
• Plasma-based research: Analysis of sirtuin-6 concentrations in human plasma samples collected under controlled conditions for biomarker studies
• Comparative population studies: Analysis of sirtuin-6 levels across different human cohorts to investigate potential associations with physiological or pathological conditions
