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