1956Heimer & Meyer in Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. XLII. 731 The bond split must be O-glycosidic rather than N-glycosidic... The name ‘sialidase’ is proposed for the enzyme responsible for this action. 1963Barka & Anderson Histochemistry iii. 94 Sialidase, an enzyme that selectively removes sialic acid..from mucopolysaccharides, eliminates the metachromatic staining and Alcian blue affinity of some acid mucopolysaccharides. 1978A. White et al. Princ. Biochem. (ed. 6) xxix. 916 It remains unclear how sialic acid in mammals or galactose in birds and reptiles is removed in vivo from plasma glycoproteins, although sialidase and β-galactosidases are present in many tissues. |
