Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetyl-D-mannosamine
DescriptionN-Acetylmannosamine, also known as n-acetylmannosamine or n-acetylmannosamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acylaminosugars. These are organic compounds containing a sugar linked to a chain through N-acyl group. N-Acetylmannosamine is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetylmannosamine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, N-Acetylmannosamine can be biosynthesized from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme N-acylglucosamine 2-epimerase. In addition, N-Acetylmannosamine and uridine 5'-diphosphate can be biosynthesized from uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine through the action of the enzyme bifunctional UDP-N-acetyl glucosamine 2-epimerase / N-acetylmannosamine kinase. In cattle, N-acetylmannosamine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the amino sugar metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Amino acid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) to form pyruvate and N-acetylmannosamine via a Schiff base intermediate. It prevents sialic acids from being recycled and returning to the cell surface. Involved in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway (By similarity).
