SERPINA1

protein-coding

serpin family A member 1, the group of Serpin peptidase inhibitors

Gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a serine protease inhibitor belonging to the serpin superfamily whose targets include elastase, plasmin, thrombin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and plasminogen activator. This protein is produced in the liver, the bone marrow, by lymphocytic and monocytic cells in lymphoid tissue, and by the Paneth cells of the gut. Defects in this gene are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and chronic liver disease. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Manifestation: Gastrointestinal; Pulmonary

Intervention: Gastrointestinal; Pulmonary

Rationale: Medical treatment (augmentation therapy with purified alpha-1-antitrypsin, Vitamin E supplementation) can be helpful for pulmonary and hepatic manifestations; Exacerbating factors (eg, smoking) should be avoided; Liver transplantation may be necessary in individuals with severe liver manifestations

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_000295.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Inhibitor of serine proteases. Its primary target is elastase, but it also has a moderate affinity for plasmin and thrombin. Irreversibly inhibits trypsin, chymotrypsin and plasminogen activator. The aberrant form inhibits insulin-induced NO synthesis in platelets, decreases coagulation time and has proteolytic activity against insulin and plasmin.;
Disease
DISEASE: Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) [MIM:613490]: A disorder whose most common manifestation is emphysema, which becomes evident by the third to fourth decade. A less common manifestation of the deficiency is liver disease, which occurs in children and adults, and may result in cirrhosis and liver failure. Environmental factors, particularly cigarette smoking, greatly increase the risk of emphysema at an earlier age. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1905728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2227940, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2390072}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
