Abstract Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a serine protease inhibitor that protects tissue from neutrophil elastase and other proteases, particularly in the lung. Mutations in SERPINA1, including the Z mutation, lead to AAT deficiency (AATD), characterized by reduced circulating AAT and increased risk of pulmonary emphysema, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
