Function

Neuraminidase (NAN) cleaves the glycosidic bonds of neuraminic acid[1].

  • endo-neuraminidase is a phage neuraminidase which cleaves α-2,8-polysialic acid[2].
  • Pseudaminidase is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa neuraminidase.
  • Trans-sialidase transfers sialic acid from Trypanosoma cruzi to a host cell[3].

Relevance

The viral NAN is a drug target for prevention of influenza[4]. In Chagas disease trans-sialidase on the surface of Trypanosoma cruzi participate in host-parasite interactions and mediate the initial stages of the invasion of the host cell[5].
