Glycolylneuraminic acid, a component of non-human milk and colostrums, is used as a reference to analyse changes of the glycome during lactation. Glycolylneuraminic acid, a xenoantigen, is involved in antigenic reactions (antibody-mediated hyperacute rejection) during xenotransplantion.
Regulation of N-glycolylneuraminic acid biosynthesis in rat and mouse liver.
ChEBI: An N-acylneuraminic acid in which the acyl substituent on nitrogen is glycolyl and which has beta-configuration at the anomeric centre.
N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) functions as an important tool for profiling anti-Neu5Gc antibodies and sialic acid-binding proteins.
