Enables several functions, including NAD(P)+-protein-arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; NAD-dependent histone deacetylase activity (H3-K9 specific); and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular protein modification process; negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; gonad; musculature; and retina. Used to study progeria. Orthologous to human SIRT6 (sirtuin 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
