FLASH GENE
Symbol SIRT4 contributors: mct - updated : 05-05-2020
HGNC name sirtuin (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog) 4 (S. cerevisiae)
HGNC id 14932
ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s)
Other morbid association(s)
TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
         
loss of SIRT4 in insulinoma cells activates GLUD1, thereby upregulating amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion
tumoral     --low  
in hepatocellular carcinoma tumour tissues, and the expression of SIRT4 in peritumour tissues was positively associated with survival in patients
constitutional     --over  
Protein levels of SIRT 4 were significantly higher in HUVECs from HELLP compared to control after 60 and 120 minutes of hypoxia

diabetetype 2 
its inhibition increases fat oxidative capacity in liver and mitochondrial function in muscle, which might provide therapeutic benefits for diseases associated with ectopic lipid storage such as type 2 diabetes
cancerdigestivecolon
may serve as a novel therapeutic target in colorectal cancer
ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mouse oocytes overexpressing Sirt4 are unable to completely progress through meiosis, showing the inadequate mitochondrial redistribution, lowered ATP content, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, with the severely disrupted spindle/chromosome organization
