malfunction | mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA (MPSIIIA, Sanfilippo A syndrome), is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the lysosomal enzyme, N-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase. Mutations in the SGSH enzyme, the only mammalian heparan N-sulfatase, cause accumulation of lysosomal inclusion bodies in brain cells comprising heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans. Systemic administration of MPSIIIA mice with the cTfRMAb-SGSH (IgG-SGSH fusion protein, where the IgG domain is a chimeric monoclonal antibody (mAb) against the mouse transferrin receptor (TfR)) fusion protein causes a 70% reduction in brain heparan sulfate, the pathologic glycosaminoglycan of the central nervous system in MPSIIIA | Mus musculus |
