Studies on the occurrence of disialosyl groups in glycoproteins of salivary glands. 1978

B L Slomiany, and A Slomiany, and A Herp

The major glycoprotein of pig submandibular and rat sublingual glands were investigated for the presence of disialosyl groups. The content of (C-8)-substituted sialic acid in the glycoproteins was determined by three different procedures: colorimetric, periodate oxidation and permethylation. Approximately 13% of sialic acid in pig submandibular glycoprotein, but none in rat sublingual glycoprotein, contained a substituent at C-8. This substituent was identified as sialic acid from its susceptibility to neuraminidase treatment. From our estimation, it appears that one out of four sialic acid residues in pig submandibular glycoprotein occurs in an N-acylneuraminyl-alpha(2 leads to 8)-N-acylneuraminyl group.

D002241 Carbohydrates A class of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of Cn(H2O)n. The largest class of organic compounds, including STARCH; GLYCOGEN; CELLULOSE; POLYSACCHARIDES; and simple MONOSACCHARIDES. Carbohydrate
D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012795 Sialoglycoproteins Glycoproteins which contain sialic acid as one of their carbohydrates. They are often found on or in the cell or tissue membranes and participate in a variety of biological activities.

D013363 Submandibular Gland One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.

Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
