Best Answer

nagalase = alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, an enzyme "that completely blocks conversion of Gc protein to Gc-MAF, preventing tumor-cell killing by the macrophages" per http://www.thenhf.com/articles/articles_792/articles_792.htm

Nagalase is an enzyme that can inhibit the functioning of the immune system by disrupting the production of a protein called GcMAF, which is important for immune function. Elevated levels of nagalase have been associated with various health conditions, including cancer and some viral infections.
