Gene nameNANS
Protein nameN-acetylneuraminate synthase
Sialic acid synthase (N-acetylneuraminate synthase) (EC 2.5.1.56) (N-acetylneuraminate-9-phosphate synthase) (EC 2.5.1.57) (N-acetylneuraminic acid phosphate synthase) (N-acetylneuraminic acid synthase)
SynonymsSAS
DescriptionFUNCTION: Produces N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononic acid (KDN) . Can also use N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate and mannose 6-phosphate as substrates to generate phosphorylated forms of Neu5Ac and KDN, respectively . .
