Abstrakt: The enzyme CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CNAH) is responsible for the conversion of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) into N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc). Incorporation of NeuGc residues into glycan chains of recombinant glycoproteins of therapeutic interest is not desirable, since NeuGc is potentially antigenic in man. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
