| Description | Human recombinant alpha-L-iduronidase, produced by recombinant DNAtechnology in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. Laronidase is a glycoprotein with a 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. |
| Indication/Disease | For the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis |
| Pharmacodynamics | Laronidase is used to treat mucopolysaccharide storage disorders (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. |
| Mechanism of Action | Laronidase catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-L-iduronic acid residues of dermatan sulfate and heparin sulfate. |
