Synonyms: CMP-sialic acid synthetase from Neisseria meningitidis  ; NmCSS; CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase; CMP-NeuNAc synthetase; CMP-sialate diphosphorylase; CMP-sialate pyrophosphorylase; CMP-sialate synthase; CMP-sialic acid synthetase
CAS Number: 9067-82-7
EC Number: 2.7.7.43

CMP-sialic acid synthetase catalyzes the conversion of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to CMP-Neu5Ac. The activation of sialic acids (Sia) to CMP-Sia is a prerequisite for the de novo synthesis of sialoglycoconjugates. CSS from Neisseria meningitidis (NmCSS) has been commonly used with other enzymes such as sialic acid aldolase and/or sialyltransferase in synthesizing a diverse array of compounds containing sialic acid or its naturally occurring and non-natural derivatives.
