Alpha-1 antitrypsin (Cat No.:I041039) is a plasma protein primarily produced in the liver that functions as a protease inhibitor. Its main role is to protect tissues from the damaging effects of enzymes, particularly neutrophil elastase, which can break down elastin in connective tissues. AAT regulates inflammation and tissue repair, and it plays a key role in protecting the lungs from conditions like emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Deficiency in AAT can lead to lung and liver diseases. It is also studied for its therapeutic potential in treating these conditions and in gene therapy.
