Alpha-1 antitrypsin or α 1-antitrypsin (A1AT, α 1 AT, A1A, or AAT) is a protein belonging to the serpin superfamily. It is encoded in humans by the SERPINA1 gene . A protease inhibitor , it is also known as alpha 1 –proteinase inhibitor ( A1PI ) or alpha 1 -antiproteinase ( A1AP ) because it inhibits various proteases (not just trypsin ). [ 5 ]
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD or AATD) is a genetic disorder that may result in lung disease or liver disease. [1] Onset of lung problems is typically between 20 and 50 years of age. [ 1 ] This may result in shortness of breath , wheezing , or an increased risk of lung infections .
Aprotinin is a monomeric (single-chain) globular polypeptide derived from bovine lung tissue. It has a molecular weight of 6512 Da and consists of 16 different amino acid types arranged in a chain 58 residues long [4] [5] that folds into a stable, compact tertiary structure of the 'small SS-rich" type, containing 3 disulfides, a twisted β-hairpin and a C-terminal α-helix.

The identification of the S and Z mutations [21] [22] responsible for the genetic deficiency and the subsequent sequence alignments of alpha1-antitrypsin and antithrombin in 1982 led to the recognition of the close homologies of the active sites of the two proteins, [23] [24] centred on a methionine [25] in alpha1-antitrypsin as an inhibitor of ...
Monitoring the decompression chamber during a simulated medical emergency. Hyperbaric treatment schedules or hyperbaric treatment tables, are planned sequences of events in chronological order for hyperbaric pressure exposures specifying the pressure profile over time and the breathing gas to be used during specified periods, for medical treatment.
PAS diastase stain is also used to identify alpha-1 antitrypsin globules in hepatocytes, which is a characteristic finding of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. [2] PAS diastase stain is also used in diagnosing Whipple’s disease , as the foamy macrophages that infiltrate the lamina propria of the small intestine in this disease possess PAS ...
