What Types of Proteins are Used in PRT for Neonatal Disorders?
The types of proteins used in PRT vary depending on the condition being treated. Common examples include:
1. Surfactant Proteins: Used primarily in the treatment of RDS. These proteins help to reduce surface tension in the lungs, enabling easier breathing in premature infants. 2. Clotting Factors: Employed in the management of bleeding disorders such as Hemophilia. These proteins are critical for blood coagulation. 3. Enzymes: Used to treat metabolic disorders such as Pompe Disease or Gaucher Disease. These enzymes help replace deficient or dysfunctional ones, aiding in normal metabolic processes.
