This product corresponds to the Clostridium perfringens (strain SM101 \/ Type A) sequence context, which can be important when comparing homologs or orthologs across model systems. For curated functional annotations, domains, and sequence features, consult primary databases (e.g., UniProt\/NCBI) and the recent literature for the specific organism and isoform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuantifying enzyme activity, substrate specificity, and cofactor dependence in metabolic pathways.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnecting metabolic state to cellular phenotypes using targeted protein reagents and quantitative assays.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrating multi-omics measurements with protein-level readouts to refine pathway models and regulatory mechanisms.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelevance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Catalyzes the reversible aldol cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid; Neu5Ac) to form pyruvate and N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) via a Schiff base intermediate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssay and standard development for immunoassays or binding-based detection methods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtein–protein interaction studies (e.g., receptor–ligand or complex assembly) using purified components.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStructure–function analysis, including domain mapping or evaluation of sequence variants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn quantitative assay development, changes in binding or activity readouts are typically interpreted relative to appropriate negative\/positive controls and, where possible, orthogonal assay formats that support the same conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecombinant constructs may represent a defined region (domain) rather than the full-length protein; interpret results in the context of the expressed region.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTag or fusion elements can aid purification and detection but may influence binding surfaces or oligomerization; consider tag controls when relevant.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecies and isoform differences can affect interaction partners and post-translational modifications; align experimental controls to the intended biological context.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eE. coli expression can limit eukaryotic post-translational modifications; for modification-dependent biology, interpret results accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry for Q0SWI8 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q0SWI8\/entry - NCBI Gene search (nanA) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=nanA - PubMed search (nanA) — NCBI — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=nanA - RCSB PDB search (nanA) — RCSB PDB — https:\/\/www.rcsb.org\/search?query=nanA - Reactome Pathway Browser — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/ --\u003e","brand":"CUSABIO TECHNOLOGY LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 mg","offer_id":53065315123565,"sku":"CSB-EP611443CAAP-1MG","price":2466.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ug","offer_id":53065482010989,"sku":"CSB-EP611443CAAP-100UG","price":729.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":53065482043757,"sku":"CSB-EP611443CAAP-20UG","price":388.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/CSB-EP611443CAAP-SDS.jpg?v=1772476576","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/recombinant-clostridium-perfringens-n-acetylneuraminate-lyase-nana-bhp10510279","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
