Sialic acid
Sialic acid is a collective noun and comprises a family of derivatives of neuraminic acid (5-amino-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid)[1].
Nowadays, there are over 30 derivatives of neuraminic acid, including N-acetyl neuraminic acid (NeuAc), N-glycolyl neuraminic acid (NeuGc), deamino neuraminic acid (KDN: 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid), all collectively called sialic acids. |
シアル酸は、ノイラミン酸(5-アミノ-3,5-ジデオキシ-D-グリセロ-D-ガラクト-ノヌロン酸)に由来する物質の総称です。
現在、ノイラミン酸にはN-アセチルノイラミン酸 (NeuAc)、N-グリコリルノイラミン酸 (NeuGc)、 デアミノノイラミン酸 (KDN: 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid) を含む 30 種以上の誘導体が知られ、全てシアル酸と呼ばれます。 |

Ganglioside
Ganglioside is a glycosphingolipid with one or more sialic acid. Major structures include ganglio, lacto, and neolacto series. In mammalian brains, ganglioside contains primarily d20:1 long chain base and stearic acid (18:0, about 80%) and does not include hydroxy fatty acids. |
酸性糖であるシアル酸を含む糖脂質をガングリオシドと呼び、主要系列にガングリオ、ラクト、ネオラクト等を含みます。哺乳類の脳では基本的にd20:1の長鎖塩基とステアリン酸(18:0)で構成され、酸化脂質は含みません。 |
