The serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) are a superfamily of proteins with a diverse set of functions, including the control of blood coagulation, complement activation, programmed cell death and development.
The most abundant serpins in human plasma are a 1-antitrypsin (AAT) and a 1-antichymotrypsin (AACT).
AACT (also called A1AC and SERPINA3) is a plasma protease inhibitor synthesized in the liver as a single glycopeptide chain.
In human, the normal serum level of AACT is about one-tenth that of AAT, with which it shares nucleic acid and protein sequence homology.
Both are major acute phase reactants; their concentrations in plasma increase in response to trauma, surgery and infection.
Elevated levels of AACT are widely, but not universally, reported in the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of AD patients.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and its SDS-stable complex with AACT are in widespread use as markers for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
AACT deficiency may also be a possible cause of chronic liver disease.
