Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

NansSialic acid synthase; Produces N-acetylneuraminate-9-phosphate (Neu5Ac-9-P) from N- acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate. Has no detectable activity towards N- acetylmannosamine or mannose 6-phosphate. (359 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Cmas
N-acylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase; Catalyzes the activation of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuNAc) to cytidine 5'-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-NeuNAc), a substrate required for the addition of sialic acid. Has some activity toward NeuNAc, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) or 2-keto-3-deoxy-D- glycero-D-galacto-nononic acid (KDN).
 
 
 0.994
Gne
Bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase; Regulates and initiates biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), a precursor of sialic acids. Required for normal sialylation in hematopoietic cells (By similarity). Sialylation is implicated in cell adhesion, signal transduction, tumorigenicity and metastatic behavior of malignant cells. Plays an essential role in early development; In the N-terminal section; belongs to the UDP-N- acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase family.
 
 
 
 0.982
Nanp
N-acylneuraminate-9-phosphatase; Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. NANP family.
  
 
 0.976
Cmah
Cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase; Sialic acids are components of carbohydrate chains of glycoconjugates and are involved in cell-cell recognition and cell- pathogen interactions. Catalyzes the conversion of CMP-N- acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) into its hydroxylated derivative CMP-N-glycolylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Gc), a sialic acid abundantly expressed at the surface of many cells.
     
 0.950
Npl
N-acetylneuraminate lyase; Catalyzes the cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) to form pyruvate and N-acetylmannosamine via a Schiff base intermediate. It prevents sialic acids from being recycled and returning to the cell surface. Involved in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway.
    
 0.937
Renbp
N-acylglucosamine 2-epimerase; Catalyzes the interconversion of N-acetylglucosamine to N- acetylmannosamine. Binds to renin forming a protein complex called high molecular weight (HMW) renin and inhibits renin activity. Involved in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway.
   
 
 0.929
Slc35a1
CMP-sialic acid transporter; Transports CMP-sialic acid from the cytosol into Golgi vesicles where glycosyltransferases function. Efficient CMP-sialic acid uptake depends on the presence of free CMP inside the vesicles, suggesting the proteins functions as an antiporter. Binds both CMP- sialic acid and free CMP, but has higher affinity for free CMP ; Belongs to the nucleotide-sugar transporter family. SLC35A subfamily.
   
  
 0.732
Gmppb
Mannose-1-phosphate guanyltransferase beta; Catalyzes the formation of GDP-mannose, an essential precursor of glycan moieties of glycoproteins and glycolipids.
  
  
 0.677
Amdhd2
N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase; Hydrolyzes the N-glycolyl group from N-glycolylglucosamine 6- phosphate (GlcNGc-6-P) in the N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) degradation pathway; Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. NagA family.
   
  
 0.640
Gmppa
Mannose-1-phosphate guanyltransferase alpha; May serve as a regulatory subunit and allow allosteric feedback inhibition of GMPPB by GDP-mannose; Belongs to the transferase hexapeptide repeat family.
