The invention relates to parathyroid hormone (PTH) variants and pharmaceutical compositions comprising same. The invention further relates to PTH compositions with improved serum half-life and peak-trough ratios, and methods of controlling serum calcium levels with the PTH variants and compositions of the invention. The invention further relates to methods of treating hypoparathyroidism and/or hypocalcemia due to hypoparathyroidism with the PTH variants and compositions of the invention.

Parathyroid hormone variants

The present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions for treating complement mediated disease. In some embodiments, recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor proteins having similar or longer half-life than native plasma-derived human C1 esterase inhibitor, and methods of making the same are provided. In some embodiments, the invention provides a method for administering an effective amount of a recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor protein to an individual who is suffering from or susceptible to a complement-mediated disease such that at least one symptom or feature of said complement-mediated disease is prevented and/or reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency.

Recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor and uses thereof

GLP-2 analogs, such as teduglutide, and fusion proteins of GLP-2 with immunoglobulin are administered before, during or after surgery, particularly resection of the small intestine. When short bowel syndrome develops after surgical resection of the small intestine, parenteral nutrition is usually necessary to compensate for reduced absorption of water and nutrients across the small intestine. GLP-2 analogs and GLP-2 fusion proteins promote growth of small intestine, improve nutrient absorption and can reduce the need for parenteral nutrition after surgery.

GLP-2 analogs and peptibodies for administration before, during or after surgery

Among other things, the present invention provides methods and compositions of treating Sanfilippo syndrome type B (Sanfilippo B) by, e.g., intrathecal (IT) administration of a Naglu protein. A suitable Naglu protein can be a recombinant, gene-activated or natural protein. In some embodiments, a suitable Naglu protein is a recombinant Naglu protein. In some embodiments, a recombinant Naglu protein is a fusion protein containing a Naglu domain and a lysosomal targeting moiety. In some embodiments, the lysosomal targeting domain is an IGF-II moiety.

Therapeutic fusion protein comprising an alpha-n-acetylglucosaminidase and a lysosomal targeting moiety

The present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions for treating muscular dystrophy, in particular, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In some embodiments, a method according to the present invention includes administering to an individual who is suffering from or susceptible to DMD an effective amount of a recombinant PLGF protein such that at least one symptom or feature of DMD is reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency, or has delayed onset. The present invention also provides exemplary recombinant PLGF proteins including monomeric, dimeric and single-chain PLGF proteins.

Recombinant placenta growth factor for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy

A targeted therapeutic including a lysosomal enzyme and a lysosomal targeting moiety that is a peptide containing at least one N-linked glycosylation site. Methods of producing the targeted therapeutic may include nucleotide acids encoding the same and host cells co-expressing GNPT. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the targeted therapeutic and methods of using the same to treat a lysosomal storage disease.

Mannose-6-phosphate bearing peptides fused to lysosomal enzymes

The invention provides compositions and methods for effective lysosomal targeting mediated by SORT1. In particular, the compositions and methods provided by the invention may be used to treat lysosomal storage diseases such as Sanfilippo syndrome type B.

Lysosomal targeting and uses thereof

Treatment of Sanfilippo syndrome type B by intrathecal administration of alpha-n-acetylglucosaminidase

The present invention provides the three-dimensional structure of human &#x3b1;-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) protein. This crystallographic information is useful in the identification and development of novel binding compounds of NAGLU, NAGLU mutants, for example, those associated with Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis III B (MPS III-B)), and other NAGLU family members (family 89 &#x3b1;-N-acetylglucosaminidase) which may modulate the activity and/or stability of mutated NAGLU. Such compounds may be useful for the treatment of Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis III B (MPS III-B)).

Crystal structure of human &#x3b1;-N-acetylglucosaminidase

A lipoprotein lipase (LPL) protein for treating and/or preventing HTG and its associated diseases, including but not limited to acute pancreatitis (AP), and in particular, acute pancreatitis secondary to or exacerbated by hypertriglyceridemia, and hypertriglyceridemia and its associated diseases in general, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, endocrine disorders, and fat embolism syndrome.
