Its product portfolio comprises approved products and multiple investigational product candidates. The companys approved products include Naglazyme (galsulfase), a recombinant form of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase enzyme used to treat genetic disease called mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS)VI; Kuvan (sapropterin dihydrochloride), a proprietary synthetic oral form of 6R-BH4, a naturally occurring enzyme co-factor for phenylalanine hydroxylase indicated for patients with Phenylketonuria (PKU); and Aldurazyme (laronidase) that is used to treat mucopolysaccharidosis I caused by the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase.
