Neuraminidase is the common name forAcetyl-neuraminyl hydrolase (Sialidase).α2-3,6,8,9 Neuraminidase A catalyzes the hydrolysisof all linear and branched non-reducing terminal sialicacid residues from glycoproteins and oligosaccharides.The enzyme releases α2-3 and α2-6 linkages ata slightly higher rate than α2-8 and α2-9 linkages.Specificity
Detailed Specificityα2-3,6,8,9 Neuraminidase A will cleave branchedsialic acid residues that are linked to an internal residue.This oligosaccharide from fetuin is an exampleof a side-branch sialic acid residue that can efficientlybe cleaved (1).
