Description
Palynziq (pegvaliase-pqpz) is a prefilled syringe containing 20 mg of pegvaliase, an enzyme substitution therapy used to treat adults with phenylketonuria (PKU) who have uncontrolled blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels. Palynziq is a PEGylated recombinant phenylalanine ammonia lyase (rAvPAL-PEG) enzyme that helps reduce blood Phe levels by breaking down phenylalanine into harmless components.
How It Works
Palynziq works by providing an alternative metabolic pathway to break down phenylalanine, an amino acid that individuals with PKU cannot properly metabolize. Pegvaliase is an enzyme that converts phenylalanine into ammonia and trans-cinnamic acid, which are then further metabolized and excreted from the body. By reducing the levels of phenylalanine in the blood, Palynziq helps prevent the toxic effects of high phenylalanine levels, which can include neurological and cognitive impairments.Side Effects
