Sialic acids of human large bowel mucosa: o-acylated variants in normal and malignant states. 1978

C M Rogers, and K B Cooke, and M I Filipe

Five sialic acid variants have been demonstrated in normal, 'transitional', and tumour extracts of human large bowel mucosa by thin-layer chromatography. Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography, with intermediate alkaline hydrolysis, confirmed that the variants were N-acetyl neuraminic acids with additional O-acylation. Cases studied so far show changes in the proportions of these variants in malignancy.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007413	Intestinal Mucosa	Lining of the INTESTINES, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. In the SMALL INTESTINE, the mucosa is characterized by a series of folds and abundance of absorptive cells (ENTEROCYTES) with MICROVILLI.
