Applications of Active Endosialidase

The active endosialidase with its ability to degrade specifically polysialic acid represents a powerful tool for studying the chemistry, metabolism, and biological roles of polysialic acid. The inactive endosialidase, on the other hand, specifically able to recognize and remain bound to polysialic acid, represents a sensitive and convenient tool for the specific detection of polysialic acid in different applications.
