Unknown Manufacturer • For the treatment of adult Type 1 Gaucher disease.
Taliglucerase alfa is a hydrolytic lysosomal glucocerebroside specific enzyme, used for long term enzyme replacement therapy in patients with Type 1 Gaucher disease.
Taliglucerase alfa is different from human glucocerebrosidase by two amino acids at the N terminal and up to 7 amino acids at the C terminal. This recombinant enzyme allows the hydrolysis reaction of glucocerebroside to glucose and ceramide that naturally occurs in healthy individuals.
