The abundant serum protein alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is the prototype chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) biomarker. AAT is an antiprotease which inhibits neutrophilderived proteases and protects the fragile tissues of the lung. Absence of this key antiprotease renders t...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious illness that prevents normal lung function, and its early onset in adults can be caused by deficiency of alpha1antitrypsin (AATD), a genetic disorder.1 More than 185,000 people are living with severe AATD worldwide.2 As a pioneer and...
