It takes two to tango: NAD+ and sirtuins in aging/longevity control

The coupling of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) breakdown and protein deacylation is a unique feature of the family of proteins called ‘sirtuins.’ This intimate connection between NAD⁺ and sirtuins has an ancient origin and provides a mechanistic foundation that translates the regulation of...
