Laronidasa
Laronidasa 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. Laronidasa 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.
Laronidasa 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
Laronidasa 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
Laronidasa is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Type 1 Mucopolysaccharidosis
How Laronidasa works
Laronidasa catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-L-iduronic acid residues of dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate.
