DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, sequence comparisons, phylogenetic analysis, genotyping and genotype-phenotype correlation analysis, genetic variant c.364C>T is highly associated with blood type AB in Ragdoll cats and, to a lesser degree, with type AB in random bred cats, it is associated with the expression of both antigens (N-glycolylneuraminic acid and N-acetylneuraminic acid) on the red blood cell membrane Felis catus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution CMAH phylogenetic analysis, genotyping and genotype-phenotype correlation analysis of gene CMAH and blood typa A, B, or AB in cat breeds, overview Felis catus
malfunction by inactivating enzyme CMAH, the NeuAc precursor accumulates and NeuGc is absent on the erythrocyte cell surface, thus reducing parasite infection in humans and promoting a positive selection during evolution, which results in the enrichment of resistant blood type antigens Felis catus
physiological function cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) is associated with the production of the sialic acids present on cat erythrocytes. CMAH converts N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) to N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) by substituting one of the hydrogen atoms in the methyl moiety with a carboxyl group. A genetic variant of enzyme CMAH is associated with blood type AB in Ragdoll cats Felis catus
