Product Specs

Introduction
SERPINA1, a secreted serine protease inhibitor, targets various enzymes including elastase, plasmin, collagenase, thrombin, leucocytic proteases, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and plasminogen activator. Genetic defects in SERPINA1 can lead to emphysema or liver disease. Notably, H. pylori infection specifically induces SERPINA1 expression in the antrum. Elevated serum levels of SERPINA1 are observed in lung and prostate cancers compared to healthy individuals, while breast cancer patients do not exhibit significant changes. Functionally, SERPINA1 acts as an endogenous inhibitor of serine proteases, demonstrating in vitro inhibition of human recombinant matriptase's catalytic domain. Tissue necrosis and inflammation trigger an acute phase response characterized by increased SERPINA1 levels. Mutations in SERPINA1 and SLC11A1 genes can disrupt the balance of elastase produced by leukocytes during phagocytosis.
Description
Recombinant human SERPINA1, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 395 amino acids (residues 25-418). With a molecular weight of 44.4 kDa, this protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The SERPINA1 protein is supplied in a solution containing 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 1mM DTT, 10% glycerol, and 2mM EDTA.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Purity
The purity of this protein is determined to be greater than 90% by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Recombinant Alpha 1 Antitrypsin

Recombinant Alpha 1 Antitrypsin (rAAT) is produced using recombinant DNA technology, typically in yeast cells. This method eliminates the risk of blood-borne infectious agents associated with plasma-derived AAT and allows for increased manufacturing efficiency . Recombinant AAT belongs to the family of serine protease inhibitors (SERPINS) and inhibits several proteases, including trypsin, cathepsin G, thrombin, tissue kallikrein, and neutrophil elastase .

Therapeutic Applications

Recombinant AAT is used in the treatment of AATD to supplement the deficient protein and control neutrophil elastase activity in the lungs. This therapy aims to prevent or slow the progression of lung damage and improve respiratory function . Studies have shown that recombinant AAT can provide greater protection against lung dysfunction and inflammation compared to plasma-derived AAT .

Mode of Action

The primary mode of action of recombinant AAT is the inhibition of neutrophil elastase. By binding to and inactivating this enzyme, AAT prevents the degradation of elastin and other structural proteins in the lungs, thereby protecting lung tissue from damage .

Regulatory Mechanisms

Recombinant AAT is regulated by various mechanisms to ensure its safety and efficacy. These include stringent manufacturing processes to maintain protein purity and activity, as well as clinical trials to evaluate its therapeutic benefits and potential adverse effects .
