Sialidases hydrolyse alpha-(2->3)-, alpha-(2->6)-, alpha-(2->8)-glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic residues in oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, colominic acid and synthetic substrates. Sialidases may act as pathogenic factors in microbial infections. Structure of trans-sialidase includes a catalytic beta-propeller domain, a N-term...

Synonym for neuraminidase ... <enzyme> Enzyme catalysing cleavage of neuraminic acid residues from oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids. ... Since these residues are usually terminal, neuraminidases are generally exo enzymes, although an endoneuraminidase is known. ... For use as a laboratory reagent, common sources are fro...

(si-al´ĭ-dās) an enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the cleavage of glucosidic linkages between a sialic acid residue and a hexose or hexosamine residue at the nonreducing terminal of oligosaccharides in glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans. Deficiency of it is an autosomal recessive trait a...

Type: Term Pronunciation: sī-al′i-dās Definitions: 1. An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal acetylneuraminic residues from oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, or glycolipids; present on the surface antigen in myxoviruses; used in histochemistry to selectively remove sialomucins, as from bronchial mucous glands and the sma...
