What is Glycoasparginase?
This test measures the activity of the enzyme glycoasparaginase in your blood. This enzyme is essential for breaking down asparagine-linked oligosaccharides, and its deficiency can lead to a rare genetic disorder.
Why is this test important?
Low or absent glycoasparaginase activity is indicative of Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU), a lysosomal storage disorder. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing symptoms and planning interventions.
