N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (NANA; Sialic Acid) (CAS: 131-48-6) is an N-acyl derivative of neuraminic or acid amino sugar derivative, derived from N-acetylmannosamine and pyruvic acid. It is an important constituent of glycoproteins and glycolipids. N-Acetylneuraminic Acid occurs in many polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids in animals and bacteria.
N-Acetylneuraminic Acid is a key component of important amino sugars that mediate cellular communication. It is a naturally-occuring building block foe compounds such as glycoproteins and gangliosides.

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (NANA; Sialic Acid) (CAS: 131-48-6) is an integral part of sialic acids (SAs), important functional sugars that play an important role in maintaining and improving brain health, detoxification, antibacterial, and immune enhancement. N-Acetylneuraminic Acid is biologically useful for neurotransmission, leukocyte extravasation, viral or bacterial infection, and carbohydrate-protein recognition. N-Acetylneuraminic Acid is used to study its biochemistry, metabolism and absorption in vivo and in vitro.

1. Anti-virus function.
2. Anti-cancer function.
3. Anti-inflammation function.
4. Defensive function against bacteriological infectiong.
5. Controlling ability of immune system.
6. Restraining ability against pigmentation.
7. Signal transformation in nerve cells.
8. Play a key role in brain development and learning.
9. As precursor for the manufacture of many pharmaceutical drugs.
