While some mutations in SERPINA1 completely abolish the gene message meaning no protein, others like the most common mutation, called Pi*Z, results in a misfolded alpha-1 antitrypsin protein being made. 两种突变:一种是导致蛋白不能产生,另一个是导致蛋白的错误折叠。 Misfolded alpha-1 antitrypsin ca...

In the patients with results available, serum AAT levels were below the treatable range in the case of SZ and ZZ mutations (see Fig. 1). Fig. 1 Alpha-1 antitrypsin levels in patients with mutation Full size imageDiscussion Having previously been regarded as rare, AATD is now considered to...
As used herein, the term “Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor” (API), also known as “alpha-1 antitrypsin” (AAT), refers to a glycoprotein produced by the liver and secreted into the circulatory system. API belongs to the Serine Proteinase Inhibitor (Serpin) family of proteolytic inhibitors. This...
