Enzyme Therapy
Investigators at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology release new data on enzyme therapy
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, August 20th, 2009
Data detailed in 'Production of human beta-hexosaminidase A with highly phosphorylated N-glycans by the overexpression of the Ogataea minuta MNN4 gene' have been presented. According to a study from Tsukuba, Japan, "Effective enzyme replacement therapy for lysosomal storage diseases requires a recombinant enzyme with highly phosphorylated N-glycans. Recombinant human beta-hexosaminidase A is a potentially therapeutic enzyme for GM2-gangliosidosis."
"Recombinant HexA has been produced by using the methylotrophic yeast Ogataea minuta as a host, and the purified enzyme was tested for its replacement effect on cultured fibroblasts derived from GM2-gangliosidosis patients....
