3-Deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid (KDN) is a sialic acid. 3-Deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid protects the oligo/(poly)sialyl chains from exosialidases at nonreducing terminal, and plays a role in egg activation of salmonid fish[1]. 3-Deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid is abundant in fetal cord red blood cells and malignant human ovarian cancer cells[2].
