Does urinary peptide content differ between COPD patients with and without inherited alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency? [PDF]
, 2017 Differentiating between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with normal (PiMM) or deficient (PiZZ) genetic variants of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is important not only for understanding the pathobiology of disease progression but also ...

An antibody that prevents serpin polymerisation acts by inducing a novel allosteric behavior [PDF]
, 2016 Serpins are important regulators of proteolytic pathways with an antiprotease activity that involves a conformational transition from a metastable to a hyperstable state. Certain mutations permit the transition to occur in the absence of a protease; when

The skeletal phenotype of chondroadherin deficient mice [PDF]
, 2013 Chondroadherin, a leucine rich repeat extracellular matrix protein with functions in cell to matrix interactions, binds cells via their a2b1 integrin as well as via cell surface proteoglycans, providing for different sets of signals to the cell ...

Clinical features in patients with severe Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency due to rare genotypes
PulmonologyAlpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) is a co-dominant condition associated with an increased risk of lung and liver disease. Since it is commonly thought that 95% of severe cases of AATD have PI*ZZ genotype, most studies about AATD have been focused on ...

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency
Seminars in Liver Disease, 1998 Homozygous PIZZ alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, which has an incident of 1 in 1600 to 1 in 2000 live births, is the most common genetic cause of liver disease in children. It is also associated with chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma in adults. It is a well-known cause of pulmonary emphysema.
