Sialic acids are a class of alpha-keto acid sugars with a nine-carbon backbone. The term "sialic acid" (from Greek σίαλον (síalon) 'saliva') was first...

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a sialic acid molecule found in most non-human mammals. Humans cannot synthesize Neu5Gc because the human gene CMAH...

acid (Neu5Ac or NANA) is the predominant sialic acid found in human cells, and many mammalian cells. Other forms, such as N-Glycolylneuraminic acid,...

Salla disease (SD) or mild Free Sialic Acid Storage Disease (FSASD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by early physical...

binding to the APN in the presence of the sialic acid. Feline coronavirus infections are therefore sialic acid dependent. The Porcine epidemic diarrhea...

CMP-sialic acid transporter is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC35A1 gene. Solute carrier family GRCh38: Ensembl release 89: ENSG00000164414...

derivatives of neuraminic acid are collectively known as sialic acids, the predominant form in mammalian cells being N-acetylneuraminic acid. The amino group bears...

Siglecs (Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins) are cell surface proteins that bind sialic acid. They are found primarily on the surface of immune...

sialic acid groups. Sialic acids are found on various glycoproteins at the host cell surface. The virus then moves from sialic acid group to sialic acid...

3'-sialyllactose) and the carboxylate group of the sialic acid. Since sialoadhesin binds sialic acids with its N-terminal IgV-domain, it is also a member...
