As a component of cell surface glycoconjugates, Neu5Ac is pivotal to numerous cellular recognition and communication processes including host-parasite interactions. A prerequisite for the synthesis of sialylated glycoconjugates is the activation of Neu5Ac to cytidine-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac). Cytidine 5-prime-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) provides the substrate required for the addition of sialic acid. CMP-sialic acid synthetase (CMAS) is one of four enzymes involved in NeuNAc metabolism, as it catalyzes the formation of CMP-NeuNAc. Cytidine monophosphate-sialic acid synthetase (CSS) catalyzes the metabolic activation of sialic acids. In vertebrates, the enzyme is chimeric, with the N-terminal domain harboring the synthetase activity.
