SRBio N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (Sialic Acid/Neu5Ac)
Product Introduction
N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (Neu5Ac), the predominant form of Sialic Acid, is a 9-carbon monosaccharide critical to glycoprotein and ganglioside structures. As a key mediator of cell-to-cell recognition, immune response modulation, and pathogen defense mechanisms, it is indispensable for:
-
Advanced Therapeutics: Viral entry inhibitors, oncology drugs, neural repair agents
-
Clinical Nutrition: Infant brain development, maternal health formulations
-
Diagnostic Reagents: Cancer biomarkers, infectious disease detection kits
-
Cosmeceutical Innovations: Glycocalyx repair, bioactive anti-aging compounds
SRBio delivers >99% HPLC-verified Neu5Ac through proprietary non-animal enzymatic synthesis, eliminating contamination risks while ensuring ethical, sustainable production.
