Sialic acid widely exists in animal tissues and microorganisms, involved in a variety of physiological functions of cell surface, in regulating the physiological and biochemical functions play a very important role. In recent years, many international scientists have found that sialic acid as a virus receptor, and cell malignancy, cancer metastasis, invasion, loss of contact inhibition, decreased cell adhesion and antigenicity are closely related. Sialic acid in breast milk is linked to specific proteins to provide immunity to early infant growth and to enhance intestinal absorption of vitamins and minerals.
