N-Acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid
N-Acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid (alternatively 9-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid) is an O acetylated sialic acid identified in human colon by using high-pressure liquid chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (PMID 3623000). It also has been suggested that 9-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid is an essential component of the cell surface receptor of influenza C virus (PMID 3700379). 9-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid is an O acetylated sialic acid identified in human colon by using high-pressure liquid chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. (PMID 3623000) It also has been suggested that 9-O-acetyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid is an essential component of the cell surface receptor of influenza C virus. (PMID 3700379) [HMDB]
(N-acetylneuraminosyl(a2-6)lactosamine)
(N-acetylneuraminosyl(alpha2-6)lactosamine) is widely distributed among tissues and is involved in biological processes such as the regulation of the immune response and the progression of colon cancer. Sialylation represents one of the most frequently occurring terminations of the oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Sialic acid is commonly found alpha,6-linked to N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). The biosynthesis of the linkage is mediated by a member of the sialyltransferase family, the beta-galactoside alpha,6-sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.1, ST6Gal.I). Although expressed by a single gene, this enzyme shows a complex pattern of regulation which allows its tissue- and stage-specific modulation. (PMID 11425186)
.6-Sialyllactosamine is an oligosaccharide found in human milk. Oligosaccharides in human milk inhibit enteric pathogens in vitro and in vivo. (PMID:10683228)
