Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 54187
Gene name N-acetylneuraminate synthase
Gene symbol NANS
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HEL-S-100SASSEMDCGSEMDG
Chromosome 9
Chromosome location 9q22.33
Summary This gene encodes an enzyme that functions in the biosynthetic pathways of sialic acids. In vitro, the encoded protein uses N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate and mannose 6-phosphate as substrates to generate phosphorylated forms of N-acetylneuraminic acid (

Protein name N-acetylneuraminate-9-phosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.57) (3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononate 9-phosphate synthase) (EC 2.5.1.132) (N-acetylneuraminic acid phosphate synthase) (NANS) (Sialic acid phosphate synthase) (Sialic acid synthase)
Protein function Catalyzes the condensation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate (ManNAc-6-P) to synthesize N-acetylneuraminate-9-phosphate (Neu5Ac-9-P) (PubMed:10749855). Also catalyzes the condensation of PEP and D-mannose 6-phospha
