Abstract

Sialic acids (Sia) are derivatives of the nine-carbon neuraminic acid monosaccharide (Fig. 1). To date, about 40 of these neuraminic acid modifications have been found to occur in nature (Table 1). Their structure, occurrence and metabolic pathways have been reviewed in detail (Rosenberg 1995; Kelm and Schauer 1997; Schauer and Kamerling 1997; Varki 1997).
