Newgreen Supply High Quality Bird’s Nest Extract 98% Sialic Acid Powder
Product Description
Sialic acid, also known as N-acetylneuraminic acid, is a type of acidic sugar that is commonly found in glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cell surface. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell-cell recognition, immune response, and as a binding site for pathogens. Sialic acid is also involved in the development and function of the nervous system.
In addition to its role in cell recognition and signaling, sialic acid is also important for the structural integrity of mucous membranes and the lubrication of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
Sialic acid is also recognized for its potential as a therapeutic target in various diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases. Research into the functions and applications of sialic acid continues to expand, and its significance in various biological processes is an active area of study.

Function
Sialic acid has a variety of important biological functions in the human body, including:
1. Cell recognition and adhesion: Sialic acid exists on glycoproteins and glycolipids on the cell surface, which helps in the recognition and adhesion between cells and participates in the regulation of cell-cell interactions.
2. Immune regulation: Sialic acid plays an important role on the surface of immune cells, participates in the recognition and signal transduction of immune cells, and plays a regulatory role in immune responses.
3. Nervous system development and function: Sialic acid is an important component of neuron surface glycoproteins and has an important impact on the development and function of the nervous system.
4. Pathogen recognition: Some pathogens use Sialic acid on the cell surface as a binding site to participate in the infection process.
Overall, Sialic acid plays important biological functions in cell recognition, immune regulation, nervous system development, and pathogen recognition.
