N-acetylneuraminic Acid

N-acetylneuraminic acid, also known as Sialic acid, is a key omponent of important amino sugars that mediate cellular communication.

Sialic acid is a naturally-occurring building block for compounds such as glycoproteins and gangliosides, and is therefore found in cell membranes, in the plasma and in glandular secretions such as saliva.
