Product Overview
| Description | Native Human Alpha-1-Antichymotrypsin (AACT) serves as a key acute-phase serine protease inhibitor that specifically targets chymotrypsin-like enzymes, most notably cathepsin G and mast cell chymase, thereby modulating inflammatory responses and tissue remodeling processes. This glycoprotein, synthesized primarily in the liver, operates through a characteristic serpin mechanism where its reactive center loop acts as a pseudosubstrate for target proteases, leading to covalent complex formation and irreversible enzyme inhibition while undergoing a dramatic conformational transition. Through this regulatory function, AACT not only controls neutrophil-mediated proteolysis during inflammation but also demonstrates significant involvement in Alzheimer's disease pathology through its co-localization with amyloid-beta plaques in brain tissues, where it may influence amyloid fibril formation, with its plasma concentrations rising markedly during acute-phase responses while genetic deficiencies correlate with chronic liver disease progression and abnormal tissue repair. |
