Extra Details:: alpha1-antichymotrypsin (a1-ACT) presents in plasma at an average concentration of 0.45mg/ml. It is a protease inhibitor for chymotrypsin-like serine proteinases, such as cathepsin G in neutrophils and chymases in mast cells. The complex formed by a1-antichymotrypsin and prostate specific antigen (a1-ACT-PSA) has been used as a biomarker for prostate cancer. a1-ACT is produced in liver and is increased during acute phase reaction. Deficiency of this protein can cause liver disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
