Abstract
The glycosidase sialidase (acylneuraminyl glycohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.18) hydrolyzes terminal sialic acid residues of glycoproteins, oligosaccharides and glycolipids, and is widely distributed in viruses, bacteria and mammals.1 Recessively inherited syndromes characterized by sialidase deficiency, the sialidoses, have been described in man2–4 and genetic sialidase deficiency has been reported in the mouse strain SM/J5,6 and the rat strain KGH.7 In SM/J mice, the deficiency involves a labile component (named A) which denatures rapidly at 0°C.5
