nacetylneuraminic acid

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Acide aceneuramique) is a nine-carbon sialic acid monosaccharide commonly found in glycoproteins on cell membranes and in glycolipids such as gangliosides in mammalian cells. Studies have shown that N-Acetylneuraminic acid is biologically useful for neurotransmission, leukocyte extravasation, viral or bacterial infections, and carbohydrate-protein recognition.

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Standard) is a reference grade N-Acetylneuraminic acid suitable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and biochemical research. N-Acetylneuraminic acid is a naturally occurring nine-carbon sialic acid monosaccharide involved in neurotransmission, leukocyte extravasation, viral or bacterial infection, and carbohydrate-protein recognition.
