epitope mapping within an internal region of NANP of human origin
recommended for detection of NANP of human origin by WB, IP, IF and ELISA; also reactive with additional species, including equine, canine, bovine and porcine
NANP Background Information Sialic acids are a family of 9-carbon 2-keto-3-deoxy sugars that are found on the ends of glycoproteins and glycolipids and play important roles in recognition events within the cell. Playing an important role in cell-cell and protein-protein recognition, N-acetylneuraminate is the main form of sialic acid in vertebrates. NANP (N-acylneuraminate-9-phosphatase), also known as HDHD4 (Haloacid dehalogenase-like hydrolase domain-containing protein 4), is a 248 amino acid protein that belongs to the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) family and is responsible for dephosphorylating Neu5Ac-9-phosphate to form N-acetylneuraminate. Characteristic of the HAD phosphatase family, the catalytic activity of NANP is dependent upon the presence of magnesium and is inhibited by vanadate and calcium.
