Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Milk sialylated oligosaccharides (SOS) play crucial roles in many biological processes. The most abundant free SOS in goat's milk are 3'sialyllactose (3'-SL), 6'sialyllactose (6'-SL) and disialyllactose (DSL). The production of these molecules is determined genetically by the expression of glycosyltransferases and by the availability of nucleotide sugar substrates, but the precise mechanisms...
