N-Acetylmannosamine

Description:
N-Acetylmannosamine (CAS 3615-17-6) is an amino sugar and a derivative of mannose, characterized by the presence of an acetyl group at the C2 position. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and exhibits hygroscopic properties. This compound plays a significant role in various biological processes, particularly in the biosynthesis of sialic acids, which are important components of glycoproteins and glycolipids. N-Acetylmannosamine is involved in cellular signaling and recognition, influencing processes such as cell adhesion and immune response. Its molecular formula is C8H15NO5, and it has a molar mass of approximately 189.21 g/mol. The compound is generally stable under standard conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation. Due to its biological significance, N-acetylmannosamine is of interest in research related to glycobiology and potential therapeutic applications, including its role in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
