Medical Use

ELAPRASE contains idursulfase, a purified version of the human enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. This lysosomal enzyme is produced using recombinant DNA technology in a human cell line. Idursulfase works by breaking down the 2-sulfate esters of terminal iduronate sulfate residues from the glycosaminoglycans dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate within the lysosomes of various cell types.
