Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) is a glycoprotein synthesized by the liver and a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. Its primary function is to inhibit neutrophil elastase, thereby protecting lung tissue and other organs from excessive proteolytic damage. Genetic AAT deficiency can lead to liver disease or emphysema, and is diagnosed via serum testing and genetic analysis. Treatment mainly involves augmentation therapy and comprehensive management.
