N-ACETYL-D-MANNOSAMINE
Specifications
| SKU | 02100109.2 |
| Application Notes | N-Acetyl-β-D-mannosamine hydrate is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize enzymes such as N-acetyl-glucosamine epimerase(s) and aldolase(s). N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is used for the synthesis of of N-acetylneuraminic acid. |
| Biochemical Physiological Actions | N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) is an essential precursor of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), the specific monomer of polysialic acid. Transport studies in the <i>E. coli</i> K1 strain have been performed to probe the effect of ManNAc on capsular polysialic acid production. |
