This product is used to determine sialic acid concentration in human serum.
N - acetyl neuraminic acid is formed from sialic acid in the sample under neuraminidase action. Then N - acetyl mannosamine and Pyruvic acid are produced under NANA - aldolase effect. Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction between NADH and Pyruvic acid to generate L - lactic acid and NAD+. The concentration of sialic acid in the sample can be calculated by measuring the decrease rate of NADH absorbance.
