Sialic acids (Sias) are ordinarily discovered to be ending limbs of N-glycans, O-glycans, and glycosphingolipids (gangliosides) (and incidentally topping side chains of GPI stays). Their astounding potential for biotically noteworthy assorted qualities defends a different section committed to this one kind of monosaccharide. The primary level of differences results from the diverse α linkages that may be structured between the C-2 of Sias and underlying sugars by particular sialyltransferases, utilizing CMP-Sias as high-vitality contributors. The most well-known linkages are to the C-3 or C-6 positions of galactose buildups or to the C-6 position of N-acetylgalac-tosamine deposits. Sialic acids can likewise possess inside positions inside glycans, the most well-known being the point at which one Sia deposit is connected to an alternate, regularly at C-8 position (see the segment on oligosialic and polysialic acids beneath).
OMICS Group through its Open Access Initiative is committed to make genuine and reliable contributions to the scientific community. It follows an Open Access publication model that enables the dissemination of research articles to the global community free of cost. It has more than 700+ peer-reviewed journals and organizes more than 3000+ International Scientific Conferences. We have more than 50,000+ editorial board members and more than 15 million readers. Journal of Glycobiology is among the top journals which publishes the articles related to Sialic acids. Journal of Glycobiology provide a forum for Scientists from all over the world to exchange ideas, to propagate the advancement of science.
