NANS, also known as SAS, is a 359aa protein that contains one AFP (antifreeze proteins)-like domain and functions in the biosynthesis of sialic acids. Expressed ubiquitously, NANS enzymatically catalyzes the H2O-dependent formation of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononic acid (KDN), both of which are sialic acids. NANS uses N-acetylmannosamine 6-phosphate as a substrate for Neu5Ac synthesis and mannose 6-phosphate as a substrate for KDN synthesis.
