Vestronidase Alfa
Vestronidase alfa is a recombinant human lysosomal enzyme (beta-glucuronidase, GUS) used for enzyme replacement therapy in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII, Sly syndrome), a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by GUS deficiency leading to glycosaminoglycan accumulation. Administered intravenously, it is taken up by cells via mannose-6-phosphate receptors and reduces the lysosomal storage of heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate. It is the only approved treatment for this ultra-rare lysosomal storage disorder.
