Notes: CMP-Sialic acid is a form of the sugar N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) O-linked with the nucleotide cytidine-5’-monophosphate (CMP). In vertebrates, it is biosynthesized within the nucleus from CTP and Neu5Ac by CMP-sialic acid synthetases.{26786} Sialyltransferases transfer Neu5Ac from CMP-sialic acid to various acceptor substrates, most commonly at terminal positions of the oligosaccharide component of glycoproteins or glycolipids.{26788,26784} Sialic acid-containing glycans at the cell surface play important roles in cell interactions and have roles in infection, inflammation, and cancer.{26784,26785,26787}
