epitope corresponding to amino acids 3-242 mapping near the N-terminus of CMAH of mouse origin
Modification Notes
The sialic acids are a family of acidic sugars typically found in the outer portion of the cell surface and in secreted glycoconjugates of all vertebrates. Cell membrane sialic acid is involved in cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions and in binding of cells to the extracellular matrix. The two most common forms of sialic acid found in mammalian cells are N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its hydroxylated derivative, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). CMAH (cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase), also known as CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase or CMP-N-acetylneuraminate monooxygenase, is a 577 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that is expressed in all tissues, except in brain. Belonging to the CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase family, CMAH catalyzes the conversion of CMP-Neu5Ac into its hydroxylated derivative CMP-Neu5Gc, a sialic acid abundantly expressed at the surface of many cells. CMAH exists as two isoforms due to alternative splicing events. Isoform 2 is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum.
