Alpha-galactosidase is a glycoside hydrolase enzyme that hydrolyzes the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. It is encoded by the GLA gene. Two recombinant forms of human alpha-galactosidase are called agalsidase alpha (INN) and agalsidase beta (INN). A mold-derived form is a primary ingredient in gas relief supplements.
