so I would encourage everybody to get familiar with this word. Sialic acid is not the kind of sugar that we eat. Those are different sugars. This is a kind of sugar
An example of a nonose is neuraminic acid, which is a component of sialic acids important in cell signaling and viral entry. 8 Monoses are crucial in metabolism, readily absorbed by the body, and utilized in various biological processes. Nonoses, while also involved in metabolic pathways, ...
Variation in the process of glycosylation, particularly in the number of terminal sialic-acid residues, gives rise to isoforms of varying acidic profiles with differences in half-life and bioactivity. Based on the known follicle-stimulating hormone isoform variation across the reproductive cycle, it ...
The endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is the thin sugar-based lining on the apical surface of endothelial cells. It has been linked to the physiological functioning of the microcirculation and has been found to be damaged in critical illness and after acute ca
It is composed of sulphated glyco- proteins connected with sialic acids (heparan sulphate, dermatan sulphate), core proteoglycans (syndecan family, mainly syndecan-1) and non-sulphated glycosaminogly- cans connected directly to the cytoplasmic membrane of the endothelial cells (CD 44) [1, 2]....
The T-zone is the forehead, nose, and chin. It is generally more prone to breakouts than the rest of the face, since it has...
We previously showed that mouse ST8Sia II (STX) exhibits polysialic acid (PSA) synthase activity in vivo as well as in vitro (Kojima, N., Yoshida, Y., and Tsuji, S. (1995) FEBS Lett. 373, 119-122, 1995). In this paper, we reported that the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)...

Figure 2. Overview of aberrant glycosylation and its correlation with other hallmarks of cancer, altered expression of sialic acid, siayltransferase, sialidase, sialoproteins, fucose, fucoprotein, fucosidase, fucosyltransferase, mannose and galactose inter-correlated with cancer hallmarks like invasion, me...
