Abstract excerpt
A delay in intracellular degradation of the mutant alpha(1)-antitrypsin (alpha(1)AT)Z molecule is associated with greater retention within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and susceptibility to liver disease in a subgroup of patients with alpha(1)AT deficiency. Recent studies have shown that alpha(1)ATZ is ordinarily degraded in the ER by a mechanism that involves the proteasome, as demonstrated in intact cells...
