| Avalglucosidase alfa |
Avalglucosidase alfa is a recombinant human acid α-glucosidase (rhGAA) that provides an exogenous source of GAA. Binding to M6P receptors on the cell surface has been shown to occur via carbohydrate groups on the GAA molecule, after which it is internalised and transported into lysosomes, where it undergoes proteolytic cleavage that results in increased enzymatic activity to degrade glycogen. |
