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.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
