| Pegzilarginase |
Pegzilarginase is a cobalt substituted recombinant human arginase 1 enzyme conjugated with mPEG carriers. The mPEG carrier reduces clearance of pegzilarginase resulting in an extended half-life while maintaining the functions of the enzyme. Pegzilarginase is intended to substitute for the deficient human arginase 1 enzyme activity in patients with ARG1-D. Pegzilarginase has been shown to rapidly and sustainably reduce plasma arginine and convert it to urea and ornithine. |
