In enzymology a N-acetylneuraminate 7-O(or 9-O)-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.45) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionacetyl-CoA + N-acetylneuraminate CoA + N-acetyl-7-O(or 9-O)-acetylneuraminateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and N-acetylneuraminate whereas its 3 products are CoA N-acetyl-7-O-acetylneuraminate and N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
