Formed by the action of CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase. Humans are devoid of this compound due to a mutation in the human CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase gene that occurred after the Homo-Pan divergence.
Formed by the action of CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase. A major component in great ape tissues except brain; however, it is absent in man due to a mutation in the human CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase gene that is reported to have occurred after the Homo-Pan divergence.

Sialic acids are important cell-surface molecules of animals in the deuterostome lineage. Although humans do not express easily detectable amounts of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc, a hydroxylated form of the common sialic acid N-acetylneuraminic acid, Neu5Ac), it is a major component
The biosynthesis of the sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) occurs by the action of cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminate (CMP-Neu5Ac) hydroxylase. Previous investigations on a limited number of tissues suggest that the activity of this enzyme governs the extent of glycoconjugate sialylation with
