N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Trimer alpha(2-8)

Description:
N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Trimer alpha(2-8), with the CAS number 76152-09-5, is a sialic acid derivative that plays a significant role in biological systems, particularly in cell recognition and signaling processes. This compound is characterized by its trimeric structure, consisting of three N-acetylneuraminic acid units linked through alpha(2-8) glycosidic bonds. The presence of the N-acetyl group enhances its solubility and stability in aqueous environments. N-Acetylneuraminic acid itself is a nine-carbon sugar acid, and its trimers are often found in glycoproteins and glycolipids on cell surfaces, contributing to the modulation of immune responses and pathogen interactions. The alpha(2-8) linkage is particularly important in the context of viral infections, as many viruses exploit these structures to facilitate entry into host cells. Overall, N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Trimer alpha(2-8) is a biologically relevant molecule with implications in virology, immunology, and cell biology.
