About Alpha-1-Protease Inhibitor

Alpha-1-protease inhibitor is an abundant plasma protein protecting tissues from being broken down by the body's natural enzymes, such as neutrophil elastase. An inherited disorder (Alpha-1-Protease Inhibitor Deficiency) can lead to damage in the lungs (emphysema) as well as the liver, and administration of this protein may prevent such damage.
