N-acetylneuraminate

view
  • Name: N-acetylneuraminate
  • Description: Sialic acids are an important family of related 9-carbon sugars acids, present on the surface of many different cells and functioning in a wide range of different biological processes.N-acetylneura... minate, the most ubiquitous species amongst the sialic acids, is widely distributed in the animal kingdom as a component of oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids. N-acetylneuraminate carries out various biological functions by acting as receptors for microorganisms, viruses, toxins, and hormones, by masking receptors, and by regulation of the immune system.
