DE   N-acetylneuraminate 9-O-acetyltransferase.
AN   glycoprotein 7(9)-O-acetyltransferase.
AN   N-acetylneuraminate 7,8-O-acetyltransferase.
AN   N-acetylneuraminate 7-O(or 9-O)-acetyltransferase.
AN   sialate O-acetyltransferase.
CA   CMP-N-acetyl-beta-neuraminate + acetyl-CoA = CMP-N-acetyl-9-O-acetyl-
CA   beta-neuraminate + CoA.
CC   -!- The enzyme, found in animals, is essential for the formation of
CC       acetylated sialoglycans.
CC   -!- The acetyl group has been shown to spontaneously move between the
CC       9-O, 8-O, and 7-O positions of the neuraminate, with 9-O acetylation
CC       being most favoured.
