Abstract excerpt
Sialuria is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of mammalian metabolism, caused by defective feedback inhibition of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE), the key enzyme of sialic acid biosynthesis. Sialuria is characterized by overproduction of free sialic acid in the cell cytoplasm. Patients exhibit vastly increased urinary excretion of sialic acid and show differently...
