NANS Antibody (B-1) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects N-acetylneuraminic acid synthase (NANS) in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). NANS is a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of sialic acids, which are essential for various cellular recognition processes, including cell signaling and pathogen interactions. NANS (B-1) antibody recognizes a protein consisting of 359 amino acids with an antifreeze protein-like domain, highlighting its evolutionary significance. NANS catalyzes the formation of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononic acid (KDN) from specific substrates, namely N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate and mannose 6-phosphate, respectively. This enzymatic activity is vital for maintaining cellular functions and modulating immune responses. Notably, human NANS shares 36% sequence identity with the E. coli neuB protein, indicating a conserved role in sialic acid metabolism across species. Anti-NANS antibody (B-1) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying the dynamics of sialic acid biosynthesis and its implications in health and disease.
