Reaction: CMP-N-acetylneuraminate + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = CMP-N-glycoloylneuraminate + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + H2O
Other name(s): CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase; CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase; cytidine monophosphoacetylneuraminate monooxygenase; N-acetylneuraminic monooxygenase; cytidine-5'-monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase
Systematic name: CMP-N-acetylneuraminate,ferrocytochrome-b5:oxygen oxidoreductase (N-acetyl-hydroxylating)
Comments: This enzyme contains both a Rieske-type [2Fe-2S] cluster and a second iron site. The ferricytochrome b5 produced is reduced by NADH and cytochrome-b5 reductase (EC 1.6.2.2). The enzyme can be activated by Fe2+ or Fe3+.
