CMP-Sialic Acid (sodium salt)(CAT: R065249) is a crucial nucleotide sugar involved in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids. It serves as a donor substrate in sialylation reactions, where sialic acid residues are transferred to glycoproteins and glycolipids, significantly impacting cellular recognition, signaling, and stability. CMP-Sialic Acid is essential in studying cell biology, particularly in glycosylation processes, and is widely used in the research of sialic acid-related diseases, such as cancer and viral infections. This compound is vital for investigating enzymatic pathways and developing therapeutic agents targeting sialylation.
