Genetic basis for the lack of N-glycolylneuraminic acid expression in human tissues and its implication to human evolution
Sialic acid is a family of acidic monosaccharides and consists of over 30 derivatives. Two major derivatives are N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc), and the hydroxylation of CMP-NeuAc is the rate limiting reaction for the production of NeuGc. The hydroxylation was...
