Alpha Keto Acid Sugars with Carbon on Backbone

Richa Sharma*

Sialic acids are a course of alpha-keto acid sugars with a nine-carbon spine. Sialic acid containing glycoproteins bind selectin in people and other organisms. Metastatic cancer cells frequently express a high density of sialic acid-rich glycoproteins. Sialic acids are profoundly abundant in vertebrate tissues. Initially found inside the Deuterostome lineage of creatures.
