Recombinant Human α-1 Antitrypsin from Oryza sativa (OsrhAAT)
Description
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a secretory protein produced by the liver and belongs to the serine protease inhibitor family. AAT protects tissues and organs from damage by inhibiting proteases, particularly neutrophil elastase. In the absence of adequate AAT, neutrophil elastase excessively hydrolyzes the elastic fibers in the alveolar walls, leading to respiratory complications such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). AAT deficiency can also cause liver cell damage, resulting in cirrhosis. OsrhAAT is extracted from transgenic rice seeds, comprising 384 amino acids with a molecular weight of 46.7 kD.
