Name N-acetylneuraminate lyase
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. N-acetylneuraminate pyruvate-lyase
  2. N-acetylneuraminic acid aldolase
  3. NALase
  4. Sialate lyase
  5. Sialate-pyruvate lyase
  6. Sialic acid aldolase
  7. Sialic acid lyase
Gene Name NPL
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in catalytic activity
Specific Function Catalyzes the cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) to form pyruvate and N-acetylmannosamine via a Schiff base intermediate. It prevents sialic acids from being recycled and returning to the cell surface. Involved in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway. Although human is not able to catalyze formation of Neu5Gc due to the inactive CMAHP enzyme, Neu5Gc is present in food and must be degraded (By similarity).
