These data may help identify functional domains of enzymes, such as the regulatory region of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, in the absence of structural information. Characterization of another cell line ...

The first reaction steps of the sialic acid production are catalyzed by the enzyme UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc kinase (GNE), which is the key enzyme of ... β1,4 linkage of the sialic acid anchor ...

Known by many different names (“Nonaka distal myopathy,” “distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles,” “hereditary inclusion body myositis,” “quadriceps-sparing myopathy,” among others), this condition ...

A PREVIOUS report 1 dealt with the enzymatic conversion of galactose-1-phosphate into glucose-1-phosphate and mentioned that a thermostable factor is necessary for the reaction. This factor has ...
