Expression of the Z Variant of α1-Antitrypsin Suppresses Hepatic Cholesterol Biosynthesis in Transgenic Zebrafish
27 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Individuals homozygous for the Pi*Z allele of SERPINA1 (ZAAT) are susceptible to lung disease due to insufficient α1-antitrypsin secretion into the circulation and may develop liver disease due to compromised protein folding that leads to inclusion body formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of hepatocytes. Transgenic zebrafish expressing human ZAAT show no signs of hepatic accumulation despite displaying...
