MW: 52,000
Extinction Coefficient: 0.433
Lyophilized from 30 mM Na phosphate, pH 6.5, with 300 mM NaCl
Storage: -20°C
Purified Native Human Alpha 1 Antitrypsin, Human Plasma
Bulk Qty Available.
An acute-phase plasma protein found at 95-350 mg per 100 ml that functions as a protease inhibitor. Clinically, its deficiency is associated with two major diseases: pulmonary emphysema and early onset/juvenile hepatic cirrhosis. It is elevated in inflammatory conditions, malignancies, liver disease and pregnancy and also after surgical trauma and use of oral contraceptives. The simultaneous quantitative determination of alpha-1-PI and ceruloplasmin permits differential diagnosis of liver afflictions.
Activity: When tested with active-site titrated porcine pancreatic trypsin using Na-Benzoyl-L-Arginine-para-Nitroanilide Hydrochloride (L-BAPNA) as substrate, it is 75-100% inhibitory.
Purity: >=95% by SDS-PAGE
Prepared from plasma shown to be non reactive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative for anti-HIV 1 & 2 by FDA approved tests.
