Description: N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is a monosaccharide used as a precursor in the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of neuraminic acid found in glycolipids and glycoproteins.N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine is a specific substrate for the synthesis of n -acetylneuraminic acid, an essential precursor for bacterial podoplanar...

Sialic acids, commonly present as terminal carbohydrates on glycoconjugates, are essential for a variety of cellular functions including cell adhesion and signal recognition as well as the formation and progression of tumors. Disruption of sialic acid biosynthesis can result in severe glomerular proteinuria or...
