SIRT2, or sirtuin 2, is one of the members of the [[Sirtuins|sirtuin family]] of proteins, which are class III histone deacetylases. The sirtuin family consists of seven members, SIRT1 to SIRT7, playing pivotal roles in cellular health, aging, and metabolism. SIRT2 has garnered significant attention due to its distinct cellular locations, versatile functions, and potential implications in various diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions and cancers. | SIRT2, or sirtuin 2, is one of the members of the [[Sirtuins|sirtuin family]] of proteins, which are class III histone deacetylases.
