SIRT6 is a protein deacylase, deacetylase, and mono-ADP-ribosylase (mADPr) regulating biological pathways important for longevity including DNA repair and silencing of LINE1 retrotransposons. SIRT6 knockout mice die by 30 days of age, whereas SIRT6 overexpression increases lifespan in male mice. Finding safe pharmacological activators of SIRT6 would have clinical benefits. Fucoidan, a polysacchar…
