Description | CMP-Sialic acid sodium salt (CMP-Neu5Ac sodium salt) is an allosteric inhibitor of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, the enzyme that initiates sialic acid synthesis. CMP-Sialic acid sodium salt provides a substrate for Golgi sialyltransferases[1]. |

In Vitro | CMP-Sialic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac), the activated form of Neu5Ac, serves as the common activated sugar donor for all the sialyltransferases to transfer a single sialic acid to an acceptor or a growing oligosaccharide chain. CMP-Sialic acid is an important sugar nucleotide for biosynthesis of sialic acid and its conjugates[2]. |
