Sialic acids, sialoconjugates and enzymes of their metabolism in fungi
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2021 Sialic acids (Sia) represent a set of derivatives of nine-carbon sugar neuraminic acid that occupy a terminal position in oligosaccharide chains located on the surface of cells. They are very important for several physiological and pathological processes,

Sialic acid glycoengineering using N-acetylmannosamine and sialic acid analogs
Glycobiology, 2019 Sialic acids cap the glycans of cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids. They are involved in a multitude of biological processes and aberrant sialic acid expression is associated with several pathologies. Sialic acids modulate the characteristics and functions of glycoproteins and regulate cell-cell as well as cell-extracellular matrix interactions.

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
