N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (Cat No.:R040040) is an amino sugar and a derivative of D-mannose, a monosaccharide. It plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of sialic acids, which are important components of glycoproteins and glycolipids, influencing cellular communication and immune response. ManNAc is essential in the synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids, particularly in the context of cell surface recognition and adhesion. Its use in research focuses on its potential therapeutic applications in diseases related to sialic acid deficiencies, including genetic disorders like sialic acid storage diseases and certain neurological conditions.
