Serum alpha-1-antitrypsin level in Iraqi patients with coronary heart disease
مجلة مركز بحوث التقنيات الاحيائية, 2011 This study was designed to estimate the level of serum alpha -1- antitrypsin in patients with coronary heart disease. Patients were clinically subdivided into stable angina 25 patients, unstable angina30 patients and myocardial infarction 50 patients. A

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

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
Medicina Clínica (English Edition), 1977 Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare hereditary condition caused by decreased plasma and tissue levels of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) that can lead to serious lung and liver disease in children and adults. AATD patients face challenges such as under diagnosis, clinical variability, and limited treatment options for liver disease.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency: Home Therapy
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 While available in only a few countries, home therapy is a possible strategy for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. We want to describe our experience in the management of human alpha-1 antitrypsin using home care intravenous augmentation ...

Update on and future perspectives for the diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in Brazil
Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2021 Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the SERPINA1 gene, which encodes the protease inhibitor alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT). Severe AATD predisposes individuals to COPD and liver disease.

A neutrophil-dependent pathway for the generation of a neutral peptide mediator: partial characterization of components and control by alpha-1-antitrypsin. [PDF]
, 1974 A biologically active neutral peptide mediator is cleaved from a plasma protein substrate by an alpha-1-antitrypsin-inhibitable serine protease apparently residing on the membrane of the human neutrophil. The peptide mediator has an approximate mol wt of

4D Mapping of ZIF Biocomposites for High Protein Loading and Tunable Release Profiles
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Systematic four‐dimensional mapping of zeolitic imidazolate framework biocomposites reveals how precursor ratios, total concentration, and washing define crystalline phase, protein loading, and release kinetics. This comprehensive study identifies conditions yielding record loading (∼85%) and precise phase–property correlations.
