In enzymology a N-acylneuraminate-9-phosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.57) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionphosphoenolpyruvate + N-acyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphate + H2O N-acylneuraminate 9-phosphate + phosphateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are phosphoenolpyruvate N-acyl-D-mannosamine 6-phosphate and H2O whereas its two products are N-acylneuraminate 9-phosphate and phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups.
