Overview
Avalglucosidase Alfa is a bioactive peptide with well-characterized properties and therapeutic applications.
Structure
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Avalglucosidase Alfa |
| Sequence | Recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase with enhanced mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) glycosylation |
| Length | ~883 amino acids |
| Molecular Weight | ~110 kDa |
| Category | Rare Disease / Enzyme Replacement Therapy |
Mechanism of Action
Enzyme replacement therapy; enhanced M6P content increases cellular uptake via cation-independent M6P receptor, improving lysosomal targeting and glycogen clearance compared to alglucosidase alfa
