Neuraminidase

Description:
Neuraminidase, with the CAS number 9001-67-6, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the life cycle of various viruses, particularly influenza viruses. It is a glycoprotein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids, facilitating the release of newly formed viral particles from infected host cells. This enzymatic activity is essential for viral replication and spread. Neuraminidase is composed of multiple subunits and exhibits a quaternary structure, which is vital for its function. The enzyme is a target for antiviral drugs, such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza), which inhibit its activity and thereby limit the spread of the virus within the host. In addition to its role in virology, neuraminidase is also studied for its potential implications in various biological processes and diseases, including its involvement in cell signaling and immune responses. Its biochemical properties, such as optimal pH and temperature for activity, can vary depending on the source of the enzyme.
