| Patisiran |
Patisiran is a double-stranded small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that specifically targets a genetically conserved sequence in the 3’ untranslated region of all mutant and wild-type TTR mRNA. Through a natural process called RNA interference (RNAi), patisiran causes the catalytic degradation of TTR mRNA in the liver, resulting in a reduction of serum TTR protein, a carrier of retinol binding protein which facilitates transport of vitamin A in the blood. |
