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 |

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 |
