Reaction | R00414 C00043 -> C00645 R02705 C00645 -> C04257 R04435 C04257 -> C06241 R01805 C06241 -> C00270 R01117 C00270 -> C00128 R01115 C00128 -> C03691 |
Comment | Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac are the most common sialic acids (Sias) in mammals. In humans, however, the CMAH gene is inactive and Neu5Gc cannot be synthesized. |
