Lysosomal Storage Disorders
Brochures
Lysosomal storage diseases are a group of metabolic disorders caused by the lack of key enzymes important for lysosomes to perform their normal function. While clinical trials are underway, there are few approved treatments for lysosomal storage diseases. Current research is focused on finding reliable biomarkers that can be used in these screening programs. Cayman scientists have developed LC-MS/MS assay workflows for quantitative measurement of the activity of certain key enzymes. We also offer a wide range of glycosphingolipid standards associated with the ten main sphingolipidoses that affect the glycosphingolipid pathway.
