Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase

Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Human recombinant alpha-L-iduronidase, 628 residues (mature form), produced by recombinant DNAtechnology in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 83 kD. The predicted amino acid sequence of the recombinant form, as well as the nucleotide sequence that encodes it, are identical to a polymorphic form of human a-L-iduronidase. It contains 6 N-linked oligosaccharide modification sites.

Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase is used to treat mucopolysaccharide storage disorders (specifically mucopolysaccharidosis 1 or Hurlers syndrome) caused by deficiencies of alpha-L-iduronidase. Reduced or absent a-L-iduronidase activity results in the accumulation of the GAG substrates, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate, throughout the body and leads to widespread cellular, tissue, and organ dysfunction.

Uses

Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase is a form of recombinant human alpha-L-iduronidase used to treat Hurler and Hurler-Scheie forms of mucopolysaccharidosis, a genetic deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase.

For the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis

Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Type 1 Mucopolysaccharidosis

How Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase works

Human Recombinant Alpha-L-iduronidase catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-L-iduronic acid residues of dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate.
