Paraffin-embedded human adrenal gland tissue stained for NANS using ab236783 at 1/200 dilution in immunohistochemical analysis.

After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30 minutes at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.

Counterstained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal goat serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C.

Supplementary information

N-acetylneuraminate synthase commonly known as NANS catalyzes the formation of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from N-acetyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate. This process is important in the sialic acid biosynthesis pathway. NANS has a molecular weight of approximately 46 kDa and is expressed in various tissues most abundantly in the liver and brain. These tissues show significant metabolic activity suggesting the enzyme's active involvement in cellular processes.
Biological function summary

This enzyme plays a significant role in the synthesis of sialic acids which are essential components of glycoconjugates such as glycoproteins and glycolipids. NANS is not known to associate with any specific large protein complexes but its action is necessary for generating substrates that contribute to protein glycosylation and the modification of lipids. These modifications influence cell-cell communication neurite outgrowth and immune response modulation.

Pathways

This enzyme is pivotal in the sialic acid biosynthesis pathway impacting the production of glycoproteins and glycolipids. In this context NANS interacts with key enzymes like sialyltransferases which further transfer sialic acids to the proteins and lipids. This pathway is essential in glycobiology affecting cellular interactions and signal transduction processes.

Mutations in the NANS gene have been linked to developmental delay syndromes especially NANS deficiency. These symptoms appear due to disrupted sialic acid production leading to abnormal glycosylation patterns. Furthermore the alteration in NANS activity indirectly affects proteins such as integrins and selectins contributing to immune deficiencies and metabolic syndromes.

Target data

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-phosphate (Man-6-P) to produce 3-deoxy-D-glycero-beta-D-galacto-non-2-ulopyranosonate 9-phosphate (KDN-9-P) (PubMed : 10749855). Neu5Ac-9-P and KDN-9-P are the phosphorylated forms of sialic acids N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and deaminoneuraminic acid (KDN), respectively (PubMed : 10749855). Required for brain and skeletal development (PubMed : 27213289).
