In biochemistry, galactosidases are enzymes that are "a family of galactoside hydrolases that hydrolyze compounds with an O-galactosyl linkage."[1]
Classification
- alpha-galactosidase. Alpha-galactosidase A is the enzyme that is deficient in Fabry's Disease. Recombinant preparations of alpha-galactosidase A are agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme) and agalsidase alfa (Replagal). Beano® is an oral alpha-galactosidase.[2]
- beta-galactosidase. Beta-Galactosidase A1 enzyme deficiency may cause gangliosidosis. Lactase is a beta-galactosidase.
