It enables oxidation by dissolving oxygen that attacks vulnerable residues like methionine and cysteine
46 The enzymatic activity of SIRT1 is primarily regulated by the NAD + /NADH ratio, a key indicator of intracellular energy status
This enzyme utilizes NADPH as an electron donor to facilitate the transmembrane transfer of electrons from molecular oxygen (O 2 ), resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species such as superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide ( 2.4 Hypoxic environment In hypoxic environments, the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is upregulated within cells, playing a crucial role in regulating the tumor microenvironment
