Ferrets exclusively synthesize Neu5Ac and express naturally humanized influenza A virus receptors [PDF]
, 2014 Mammals express the sialic acids N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) on cell surfaces, where they act as receptors for pathogens, including influenza A virus (IAV). Neu5Gc is synthesized from Neu5Ac by the enzyme

Complete mitochondrial genome of the South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the South America fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) was obtained by a shotgun sequencing approach. The mitogenome is 16,372 bp in length and includes the genes coding for the two rRNA species (12S and 16S), 13 ...
