A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884944B2) discloses a protein comprising two fusion polypeptides linked to Fc polypeptides and N-sulfoglucosamine sulfohydrolase (SGSH) amino acid sequences. The protein is designed to enhance the uptake of the SGSH amino acid sequence into the brain, with at least a four-fold increase compared to the uptake of the unmodified SGSH enzyme. Importantly, the protein does not contain immunoglobulin heavy and/or light chain variable region sequences or antigen-binding portions, making it a unique therapeutic agent.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims for pharmaceutical compositions containing the described protein and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The compositions aim to leverage the enhanced brain uptake capabilities of the protein for potential therapeutic applications. The specific sequences of the fusion polypeptides are detailed in the claims, providing a clear roadmap for the development and production of the protein-based pharmaceutical compositions. Overall, the patent highlights a novel protein design with promising implications for targeted drug delivery to the brain, potentially opening up new avenues for treating neurological disorders.
