6′SLN

6′SLN is a characteristic glycan found on the surface of cancer-related extracellular vesicles (EVs) and serves as the primary form of protein glycosylation within EVs. Additionally, 6′SLN, a derivative of sialic acid, interacts with hemagglutinins (HAs) from both human and avian influenza strains, making it relevant in the study of anti-influenza drugs.
