ID   5.1.3.24
DE   N-acetylneuraminate epimerase.
AN   alpha-N-acetylneuraminic acid epimerase.
AN   sialic acid epimerase.
AN   sialic acid mutarotase.
CA   N-acetyl-alpha-neuraminate = N-acetyl-beta-neuraminate.
CC   -!- Sialoglycoconjugates present in vertebrates are linked exclusively by
CC       alpha-linkages and are released in alpha form during degradation.
CC   -!- This enzyme accelerates maturotation to the beta form via the open
CC       form (which also occurs as a slow spontaneous reaction).
CC   -!- The open form is necessary for further metabolism by the bacteria.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 5.1.3.n1.
