Protein Replacement Therapy

Molecular classification
Proteins
01

Overview

Protein replacement therapy is a therapeutic strategy used to treat diseases caused by missing, deficient, or malfunctioning proteins. It involves administering purified, often recombinant, proteins to patients to restore function lost due to genetic disorders or other causes. These proteins can act as enzymes, structural components, or perform other essential biological roles. Examples include enzyme replacement for lysosomal storage diseases and clotting factor replacement for hemophilia.
