Sialic acids, commonly present as terminal carbohydrates on glycoconjugates, are essential for a variety of cellular functions including cell adhesion and signal recognition as well as the formation and progression of tumors.{16261} Disruption of sialic acid biosynthesis can result in severe glomerular proteinuria or neuromuscular disorders such as hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM).{16263} N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) is the precursor of all physiological sialic acids. Intraperitoneal injection of ManNAc twice daily at 1,000 mg/kg in C57BL/6 mice for 13 days leads to increased sialylation in kidney, liver, blood cells, brain, spinal cord, muscle, heart, lung, and spleen.{16262} ManNAc reverses hyposialylation and improves glomerular integrity in GneM712T/M712T mice whose key enzyme for sialic acid production has been deleted and may prove therapeutic in the treatment of HIBM.{16263}
