EC 4.1.3.3     
Accepted name: N-acetylneuraminate lyase
Reaction: aceneuramate = N-acetyl-D-mannosamine + pyruvate
Glossary: aceneuramate = (4S,5R,6R,7S,8R)-5-acetamido-4,6,7,8,9-pentahydroxy-2-oxononanoate
Other name(s): N-acetylneuraminic acid aldolase; acetylneuraminate lyase; sialic aldolase; sialic acid aldolase; sialate lyase; N-acetylneuraminic aldolase; neuraminic aldolase; N-acetylneuraminate aldolase; neuraminic acid aldolase; neuraminate aldolase; N-acetylneuraminic lyase; N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase; NPL; NALase; NANA lyase; acetylneuraminate pyruvate-lyase; N-acetylneuraminate pyruvate-lyase; NanA; N-acetylneuraminate pyruvate-lyase (N-acetyl-D-mannosamine-forming)
Systematic name: aceneuramate pyruvate-lyase (N-acetyl-D-mannosamine-forming)
Comments: This enzyme is involved in the degradation of N-acetylneuraminate. It is specific for the open form of the sugar. It also acts on N-glycoloylneuraminate and on O-acetylated sialic acids, other than 4-O-acetylated derivatives.
