Velmanase alfa is a recombinant human lysosomal alpha-mannosidase. Velmanase alfa has an amino acid sequence of the monomeric protein identical to the naturally occurring human alpha-mannosidase. Velmanase alfa supplements or restores the function of deficient alpha-mannosidase. Alpha-mannosidase is a lysosomal enzyme involved in glycoprotein catabolism. Deficient alpha-mannosidase results in the accumulation of mannose-rich oligosaccharides, causing impaired cellular function and apoptosis in all tissues.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
