In enzymology a N-acetylneuraminate 4-O-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.44) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + N-acetylneuraminate CoA + N-acetyl-4-O-acetylneuraminateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and N-acetylneuraminate whereas its two products are CoA and N-acetyl-4-O-acetylneuraminate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
