Abstract excerpt
Human alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor (A1Pi) deficiency, associated with the Z variant A1Pi gene, results from defective secretion of the inhibitor from the liver and appears to be a direct consequence of replacement of Glu342 with Lys. To investigate the effect of the amino acid occupying position 342 on secretion of A1Pi, we have used oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of A1Pi cDNA to randomly change the codon...
