Sirtuins are highly conserved nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent enzymes that regulate a wide range of biological processes, including aging, in several species. This SnapShot provides a comprehensive overview of the targets, enzymatic activities, and physiological functions of the seven mammalian sirtuins, as well as the regulation of the biosynthetic pathways regulating NAD availability.
