| Accepted name: |
N-acetylneuraminate 4-O-acetyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
acetyl-CoA + N-acetylneuraminate = CoA + N-acetyl-4-O-acetylneuraminate |
| Other name(s): |
sialate O-acetyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
acetyl-CoA:N-acetylneuraminate 4-O-acetyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Both free and glycosidically bound N-acetyl- and N-glycolyl- neuraminates can act as O-acetyl acceptors. |
