Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Cytidine-5′-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid sodium salt has been used:

as a standard in high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) for nucleotide sugar analysis in Joubert syndrome type 10 (JBTS10) patient cells and control skin fibroblasts,
As a substrate for the enzymatic sialylation of G2 glycoforms, resialylation assay,
in in-vitro sialyltransferase assay

Definition

ChEBI: CMP-N-acetyl-beta-neuraminic acid is a nucleotide sugar used as a donor by glycosyltransferases for the synthesis of sugar chains It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to a N-acetyl-beta-neuraminic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a CMP-N-acetyl-beta-neuraminate(2-).

General Description

Cytosine 5′-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) is a sugar-nucleotide produced by CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase from CTP and Neu5Ac.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytidine-5′-monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Sialic acid) is a substrate for sialyltransferases. It is used for the enzymatic sialylation of glycans.
