3-Deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid
Sialic Acid
3-Deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid (KDN) is a unique form of sialic acid that plays a vital role in cellular interactions and signaling. It is susceptible to hydrolysis by sialidase enzymes, particularly from the loach (Misgurnus fossilis), which can be utilized in biochemical studies. KDN's distinctive structural features make it valuable for research in glycobiology, immunology, and the exploration of glycan-related processes.
