唾液酸和神经氨酸通常都被宽泛地称为神经氨酸轭合物。研究发现，N-乙酰神经氨酸通常都是细胞表面糖蛋白的末端糖。细胞表面糖蛋白在细胞识别、细胞相互作用和细胞粘附方面都起到重要作用。膜糖蛋白也在肿瘤生长和转移中起重要作用。

Application

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (NANA, Neu5Ac) is a major component of glycoconjugates such as glycolipids, glycoproteins and proteoglycans (sialogylcoproteins) where it confers selective binding characteristics to the glycosylated component. Neu5Ac is used to study its biochemistry, metabolism and uptake in vivo and in vitro. Neu5Ac is used in the development of nanocarriers.
