General description

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a nonhuman sialic acid molecule synthesized in pigs but not in humans, that has a role as a mammalian metabolite and an antigen. This hydroxylated form of sialic acid, specifically N-acetylneuraminic acid, features a glycolyl substituent on nitrogen and a beta-configuration at the anomeric center. The biosynthesis of N-glycolylneuraminic acid involves the enzymatic activity of cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminate (CMP-Neu5Ac) hydroxylase.
In humans, the absence of endogenous production results from a gene mutation affecting CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase, the enzyme responsible for converting N-acetylneuraminic acid into Neu5Gc. However, Neu5Gc can accumulate in human cells through external ingestion from dietary sources like red meat and dairy products. N-Glycolylneuraminic acid is a versatile compound that finds application in cell biology, metabolomics and biochemical research

Application

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid has been used:
  • as a sugar in microtiter biofilm methodologic approach for the enhancement of biofilm formation
  • as a standard for the determination of sialic acids in the nervous system of silkworm and to find the variations of sialic acids among different developmental stages.
  • as a standard in the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses to detect the molecular species of sialic acid (Sia) species using 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxy-benzene (DMB) as a fluorogenic compound

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) functions as an important tool for profiling anti-Neu5Gc antibodies and sialic acid-binding proteins.

Features and Benefits

  • Ideal for Metabolomics, Biochemical and Cell Biology research
  • Versatile and adaptable for wide variety of laboratory and research applications

The rotavirus spike protein domain VP8* is essential for recognition of cell surface carbohydrate receptors, notably those incorporating N-acylneuraminic acids (members of the sialic acid family). N-Acetylneuraminic acids occur naturally in both animals and humans, whereas N-glycolylneuraminic acids are acquired

Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids found on the cell surface. They act as recognition molecules or signal modulators and regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc)-containing gangliosides have been detected in some neoplasms in humans, although they are usually absent in

Minor N-linked glycans containing N-glycolylneuraminic acid residues and/or α-Gal epitopes (i.e., galactose-α1,3-galactose residues) have been reported to be present in recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics.

A number of carbohydrate structures apart from Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc (Gal) have been implicated as potential xenoantigens. Epitopes of another carbohydrate structure, namely N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc), are widely expressed on the surfaces of endothelial cells of all mammals, except humans, and are
