- Extra Details:
- Serpin A1 is a prototype member of the Serpin superfamily of the serine protease inhibitors. As one of the most abundant proteinase inhibitors in the circulation; it is synthesized in hepatocytes; and to a lesser extent; in macrophages as well as intestinal epithelial cell lines and secreted as the abundant proteinase inhibitor in the circulation whose targets include elastase; plasmin; thrombin; trypsin; chymotrypsin; and plasminogen activator. Point mutations in the native SerpinA1 variants result in Serpin A1 deficiency; and consequently lead to several clinical complications such as pulmonary emphysema; juvenile hepatitis; cirrhosis; and hepatocellular carcinoma. For example; the Z variants (Glu342 to Lys) forms intracellular inclusion bodies; is not secreted; and leads to a severe SerpinA1 deficiency. Accordingly; Serpin A1 deficiency in circulation is associated with emphysema or liver disease.
