SIRT5 encodes a member of the sirtuin family of proteins, homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein.
Members of the sirtuin family are characterized by a sirtuin core domain and grouped into four classes.
The functions of human sirtuins have not yet been determined; however, yeast sirtuin proteins are known to regulate epigenetic gene silencing and suppress recombination of rDNA.
Studies suggest that the human sirtuins may function as intracellular regulatory proteins with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.
The protein encoded by this gene is included in class III of the sirtuin family.
Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants.
