N-acetylneuraminic acid is a synthetic product and is the pure N-acetyl compound.
Nacetylneuraminic acid is also found widely in endothelial tissue and elsewhere; conjugated to a range of glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is considered to be the functional part of sialyllactose found in milk and colostrum.
