    Summary
    Enables N-acylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase activity. Involved in CMP-N-acetylneuraminate biosynthetic process; chemical synaptic transmission; and response to heat. Located in trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in adult brain; adult head; embryonic/larval crystal cell; and larval central nervous system. Orthologous to human CMAS (cytidine monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
