<physiology> Of or pertaining to saliva; producing or carrying saliva; as, the salivary ferment; the salivary glands; the salivary ducts, etc. Origin: L. Salivarius slimy, clammy: cf. F. Salivaire. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
sialic acid |
<chemical> Sometimes known as sialic acid, but strictly one of a family of sialic acids (which includes also N glycolyl neuraminic acid and O substituted derivatives). It is a 9 carbon sugar formed by adding to mannose three carbons from pyruvate. Occurs in the subset of glycolipids known as gangliosides and in glycoproteins. The presence of its carboxyl group on glycolipids and glycoproteins is responsible for much of the negative charge on animal cell surfaces. (04 Jul 1999) |

sialic acid permease |
<chemical> Synonym: sialic acid transporter (26 Jun 1999) |
sialic acids |
A group of naturally occurring n-and o-acyl derivatives of the deoxyamino sugar neuraminic acid. They are ubiquitously distributed in many tissues. (12 Dec 1998) |

sialic acid
|
Sialic acid is a derivative of a nine-carbon [[monosaccharide, named from the Greek σιαλοσ (sialos) 'saliva'. It is the negative charge of this chemical that is responsible for the slippery feel of saliva and mucins coating the bodys organs. Despite its role of acting as "decoy" for invading pathogens, sialic acid is becoming known as an agent necessary for mediating ganglioside distribution and structures in the brain. ...
