SERPINA1 antibody, also known as Alpha 1 Antitrypsin antibody, recognizes a secreted serine protease inhibitor encoded by the SERPINA1 gene on chromosome 14q32.13. Alpha 1 Antitrypsin, commonly abbreviated as A1AT and also referred to as alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor, is a member of the serpin superfamily. It is primarily synthesized by hepatocytes and secreted into the bloodstream, where it circulates as a major inhibitor of neutrophil elastase and other proteolytic enzymes. In tissue sections, SERPINA1 is typically localized to the cytoplasm of hepatocytes and may also be detected in macrophages and inflammatory cells under certain conditions.
Alpha 1 Antitrypsin plays a crucial protective role in maintaining pulmonary tissue integrity. By inhibiting neutrophil elastase, it prevents excessive degradation of extracellular matrix components in the lung. SERPINA1 antibody is widely used in liver and pulmonary research to assess protein expression, detect intracellular accumulation, and evaluate inflammatory responses. In normal liver, cytoplasmic staining of hepatocytes reflects active synthesis and secretion of Alpha 1 Antitrypsin.
Structurally, Alpha 1 Antitrypsin is a glycosylated protein belonging to the clade A serpin family and contains a reactive center loop that enables irreversible binding to target proteases. Genetic variants of SERPINA1 can lead to protein misfolding, intracellular polymerization, and reduced circulating levels. Accumulation of mutant protein within hepatocytes is associated with characteristic inclusion bodies and may contribute to liver injury.
Deficiency of Alpha 1 Antitrypsin is associated with increased risk of emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and various liver disorders including hepatitis and cirrhosis. Altered expression patterns are also evaluated in inflammatory and neoplastic contexts. Clone AAT/4613 recognizes SERPINA1 and is suitable for detecting Alpha 1 Antitrypsin expression in relevant research applications.
Optimal dilution of the SERPINA1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 200-400) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the SERPINA1 antibody.
Aliquot the SERPINA1 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
