Enzyme-replacement therapy is an established means of treating lysosomal storage diseases. Infused therapeutic enzymes are targeted to lysosomes of affected cells by interactions with cell-surface receptors that recognize carbohydrate moieties, such as mannose and mannose 6-phosphate, on the
Enzyme replacement therapy has been used successfully in many lysosomal storage diseases. However, correction of brain storage has been limited by the inability of infused enzyme to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We recently reported that PerT-GUS, a form of β-glucuronidase (GUS) chemically
Enzyme replacement therapy has been used successfully in many lysosomal storage diseases. However, correction of brain storage has been limited by the inability of infused enzyme to cross the blood-brain barrier. The newborn mouse is an exception because recombinant enzyme is delivered to neonatal
The mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type VII mouse was originally described as the adipose storage deficiency mouse because of its extreme lean phenotype of unknown etiology. Here, we show that adipose storage deficiency and lower leptin levels are common to five different lysosomal storage diseases
Enzyme replacement therapy is an established means of treating lysosomal storage diseases. Infused enzymes are normally targeted to the lysosomes of affected cells by interactions with cell-surface receptors that recognize carbohydrate moieties such as mannose and mannose 6-phosphate on the enzymes.
