Colominic acid sodium salt（Cat No.:C000946）, also known as sialic acid sodium salt, is a complex carbohydrate derived from the capsules of Escherichia coli bacteria. It is a polysaccharide composed of repeating units of sialic acid. Colominic acid is similar to naturally occurring sialic acid found in glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is used in biotechnology and research as a model for studying sialic acid-containing compounds and their interactions. Additionally, it finds application in pharmaceutical and vaccine development.
