malfunction | SIRT6 protein levels are not detectable in skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius and soleus) in SIRT6M -/- mice and unchanged in other tissues related to metabolic homeostasis compared with SIRT6flox/flox control mice. Mutant phenotype includes attenuated whole body energy expenditure and weakened exercise performance. Mutant mice show inactive behavior with aging, decreased activity of AMPK and reduced expression of its downstream genes in skeletal muscle of SIRT6 knockout mutant mice. Basal mitochondrial respiration and maximal mitochondrial respiratory capacity increase in C2C12 myotubes overexpressing SIRT6 | Mus musculus |
physiological function | SIRT6 regulates metabolic homeostasis in skeletal muscle through activation of AMPK. AMPK mediates the SIRT6 effects. SIRT6 regulates AMPK activity and oxidation capacity in C2C12 myotubes | Mus musculus |
