Also known as mucopolysaccharidosis type I, IDUA, α-L-iduronidase, alpha-L-iduronidase, human alpha-L-iduronidase, alpha-L-iduronidase precursor

Iduronidase (, L-iduronidase, α-L-iduronidase, laronidase), sold as Aldurazyme, is an enzyme with the systematic name glycosaminoglycan α-L-iduronohydrolase. It catalyses the hydrolysis of unsulfated α-L-iduronosidic linkages in dermatan sulfate.

Iduronidase (, L-iduronidase, α-L-iduronidase, laronidase), sold as Aldurazyme, is an enzyme with the systematic name glycosaminoglycan α-L-iduronohydrolase. It catalyses the hydrolysis of unsulfated α-L-iduronosidic linkages in dermatan sulfate.

It is a glycoprotein enzyme found in the lysosomes of cells. It is involved in the degeneration of glycosaminoglycans such as dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. The enzyme acts by hydrolyzing the terminal α-L-iduronic acid residues of these molecules, degrading them. The protein is reported as having a mass of approximately 83 kDa.
