The research progress on silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-3 and neurodegenerative diseases / 中华神经科杂志

Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-3(Sirt3) has a close relationship with neurodegenerative diseases. As researches developing, more and more abnormal proteins have been found depositted in neuron, and these abnormal proteins could induce mitochondrion oxidative stress injury. But Sirt3 could resist abnormal protein′s oxidative stress injury by deacetylation. So Sirt3 may delay the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
