Background
| Function | FUNCTION: Regulates and initiates biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), a precursor of sialic acids. Plays an essential role in early development (By similarity). Required for normal sialylation in hematopoietic cells. Sialylation is implicated in cell adhesion, signal transduction, tumorigenicity and metastatic behavior of malignant cells. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10334995}. |
| Pathway | Amino-sugar metabolism; N-acetylneuraminate biosynthesis. |
| Protein Families | UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase family; ROK (NagC/XylR) family |
| Tissue Specificity | Highest expression in liver and placenta. Also found in heart, brain, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Isoform 1 is expressed in heart, brain, kidney, liver, placenta, lung, spleen, pancreas, skeletal muscle and colon. Isoform 2 is expressed mainly in placenta, but also in brain, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas and colon. Isoform 3 is expressed at low level in kidney, liver, placenta and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10330343, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10431835, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17597614}. |
