MEPSEVII (vestronidase alfa) is a recombinant human glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme replacement therapy for mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII or Sly syndrome), a rare lysosomal storage disorder. The drug works by providing exogenous GUS enzyme that is taken up into cellular lysosomes via mannose-6-phosphate receptors, where it catabolizes accumulated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in affected tissues. This enzyme replacement addresses the multisystem tissue and organ damage caused by GUS deficiency.
