'''Alpha-1-antitrypsin''' (or α1-antitrypsin, A1AT) is an inhibitor of trypsin. It is a member of the Serine Protease Inhibitor ([[Serpin]]) family, and as such undergoes a conformational change where a loop region becomes ordered as a Beta Strand. In this case trypsin is inhibited when a covalent bond is formed to A1AT. | '''Alpha-1-antitrypsin''' (or α1-antitrypsin, A1AT) is an inhibitor of trypsin.
