Nusacco (Sialic Acid)
Product description:
The generic term of sialic acid is N-acetylneuraminic acid, which is a naturally occurring amino sugar that was originally isolated from the submandibular gland mucin, hence the name sialic acid. Sialic acid is a nine-carbon monosaccharide derivative containing an amino group and is a general term for all N- or O-derivatives of neuraminic acid or keto-deoxyindansyl acid (KDN). It is usually present in the form of oligosaccharides, glycolipids or glycoproteins, mainly in the form of short-chain residues at the ends of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
