a1-Antitrypsin
a1-Antitrypsin is a proteinase inhibitor of the serpin family that consists of a single polypeptide chain of 294 amino acid residues and four carbohydrate side chains. It also known as a1-proteinase inhibitor. Present at a concentration of 1 g/L, it is the predominant proteinase inhibitor in human plasma in terms of concentration. Its reactive-center peptide bond between Met358 and Ser359 specifically targets the elastases that are involved in connective tissue remodeling. Genetic deficiency of a1-antitrypsin is relatively common and predisposes to the development of the lung disease emphysema, with an associated risk of liver cirrhosis .
