Article Title: Systemic blockade of sialylation in mice with a global inhibitor of sialyltransferases
Abstract: Conclusion: Sialoside expression can be modulated in vivo with a sialyltransferase inhibitor. Significance: Pharmacological blockade of sialoside expression will be an important tool for future exploration of sialic acid in health and disease. Background: In vivo pharmacological inhibition of sialyltransferases has, to date, not been possible. Results: 3F-NeuAc acts as a global sialyltransferase inhibitor in mice and causes kidney and liver dysfunction.
