N-Acetylneuraminic acid
CAS:131-48-6
MF:C11H19NO9
N-acetylneuraminic acid is an N-acyl derivative of neuraminic or acid amino sugar derivative, derived from N-acetylmannosamine and pyruvic acid. It is an important constituent of glycoproteins and glycolipids. N-acetylneuraminic acid occurs in many polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids in animals and bacteria.

n acetylneuraminic acid synthesis
In bacterial systems, sialic acids are biosynthesized by an aldolase enzyme. The enzyme uses a mannose derivative as a substrate, inserting three carbons from pyruvate into the resulting sialic acid structure. These enzymes can be used for chemoenzymatic synthesis of sialic acid derivatives.
n acetylneuraminic acid uses
N-Acetylneuraminic acid is an integral part of sialic acids (SAs), important functional sugars that play an important role in maintaining and improving brain health, detoxification, antibacterial, and immune enhancement. n-Acetylneuraminic acid is biologically useful for neurotransmission, leukocyte extravasation, viral or bacterial infection, and carbohydrate-protein recognition. n- Acetylneuraminic acid is used to study its biochemistry, metabolism and absorption in vivo and in vitro.
n acetylneuraminic acid function
N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) is an indispensable part of sialic acids (SAs), which are important functional sugars and play an important role in maintaining and improving brain health, detoxification, antibacterial, boosting immune system and so on.
n acetylneuraminic acid is present in
N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, termed sialic acid/SA here) is one of over thirty known sialic acid analogs. It is the predominant form of sialic acid in humans and is presented as the terminal residue on surface-exposed glycans, glycoproteins, and glycolipids.
