Alpha-1 antitrypsin was discovered by Dr. Laurell and Dr. Eriksson in 1963. They identified it as a serum protein and named it alpha-1-antitrypsin based on its ability to inhibit the enzyme trypsin.

It is a blood component that breaks down infection-fighting enzymes such as elastase

Alph-1-antitrypsin, produced in the liver, is a protease inhibitor. It inhibits Factor XIa, thrombin, kallikrein, plasmin, and tPA in the coagulation pathway. It is the major inhibitor of FXIa.

Although the wide majority of Alpha 1's are of Northern European decent, most of us are not of one pure race. If he is an Alpha then both of his parents would have to be carriers of the gene. A simple blood test can determine if he was an Alpha and I don't know if that was done. Alpha 1 deficiency can cause either chronic COPD or liver disease.

No one knows if Michael Jackson had Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.

The only source for the claim is Ian Halperin, a writer who did a biography of Jackson. Halperin provided no evidence whatever for this claim, and Jackson's spokesman denied it as "a total fabrication."

Alpha-1 is considered rare in African Americans. However, the Alpha-1 Foundation recently awarded a grant to study the high rate of lung disease in African Americans, and to test them for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.

It is thought that every 1:2000 Caucasian births results in someone who is genetically 'alpha-1 antitrypsin deficient'. This puts the potential deficient population in the US at about 100,000 even though only a fraction of that number has been identified.

The number of Americans with this deficiency is relatively small, probably no greater than 70,000

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a condition whereby the body suffers a deficiency of the protein required to protect the liver and the lungs from damage, which may lead to liver diseases or emphysema.

1 answer


People with this type of emphysema have a hereditary deficiency of a blood component, an enzyme inhibitor called alpha-1-antitrypsin

1 answer


The Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency means that the body does not make enough protein to protect the liver and lungs from damage. AAT is given to patients to help them produce some protein. If the patient smokes they are advised to quit.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is a genetic disorder that is passed along through generations. This is a deficiency in a protein of the lungs and the liver. If left untreated, it can ultimately lead to lung and liver disease.

An antitrypsin is any of a class of serum proteins which inhibit trypsin and similar proteolytic enzymes.

1 answer


One of the mechanisms is that:

Alpha 1 antitrypsin (an alpha 1 globulin) normally inhibits proteases and thus elastases also. Normally; due to negative control on elastases, elastic component of lungs is maintained with proper physical characteristics. The compound does it so by binding with proteases through amino acid methionine at 358 position in its chain.

In a smoker; the methionine is oxidised to methionine sulfoxidase; which cannot bind to proteases. As inhibition is released, elastic components of lung start degrading by action of these enzymes. Thus, smoker gets emphysema or other disorders and it causes decrease in vital capacity as distensibility (compliance/stretchability) decreases. Smokers with alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency have a worse condition.

Smoking destroys alveoli and capillaries therefore not as much oxygen can be absorbed by the lungs/body.

1 answer


The best way is to reduce smoking as smokers chances to get emphysema is much higher than the non-smokers. However, in certain people, it is due to genetic reason (ie: alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency) which means not much thing can be done to prevent it but some intervention is still possible to reduce the symptoms.

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) contains trypsin inhibitors that can interfere with trypsin activity. These inhibitors can bind to and inhibit trypsin, reducing its ability to cleave proteins effectively. It is important to remove or inactivate these inhibitors when using trypsin for cell culture experiments.

Yes, there are duplicate code in ICD-10 and ICD-9 but with different meaning, reason being in ICD-9 there E and V codes are alpha-numeric and ICD-10 codes are also alpha-numeric. For example- in ICD-10 E88.01 is Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency but same code in ICD-9 is E880.1-Accidental fall on or from sidewalk curb and there are differences in the place of decimals.

There are two main types of alpha receptors: alpha-1 and alpha-2. Alpha-1 receptors are located in smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, causing vasoconstriction when activated. Alpha-2 receptors are located both presynaptically and postsynaptically in the central and peripheral nervous systems, regulating the release of neurotransmitters.

It's not such a simple answer I'm afraid.

If you are asking how many people have 2 deficient genes for the production of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin in the liver (and other parts of the body) then the answer is between 1 in 2000 live Caucasian births to one in ever 10 or 20,000.

Right now in the USA and Canada there are roughly 10,000 identified alphas and estimates of another 90,000 undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

It is the number one autosomal recessive genetic condition humans face.

As with many such conditions, having the deficiency is not a disease in and of itself. Being deficient simply means that you any or all of the skin, liver and/or lung diseases that can occur because of the deficiency.
