Open the SIRT4 IHC GuideFacts about NAD-dependent protein lipoamidase sirtuin-4, mitochondrial.
Inhibits the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH) activity through the enzymatic hydrolysis of the lipoamide cofactor from the E2 component, DLAT, in a phosphorylation-independent manner (PubMed:25525879). Catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribosyl groups onto target proteins, including mitochondrial GLUD1, inhibiting GLUD1 enzyme activity.
