Both terminal misfolding and polymerisation contribute to disease-relevant responses in cell models of α <sub>1</sub> -antitrypsin deficiency-associated liver disease

2025-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Polymerisation of α 1 -antitrypsin within hepatocytes is considered central to the pathogenesis of α 1 -antitrypsin deficiency-associated liver fibrosis, most commonly in homozygotes for the Z (p.Glu342Lys) allele. Polymerisation proceeds via self-association of monomeric intermediate states. In parallel, >50% of synthesised Z α 1 -antitrypsin is instead recognized as terminally-misfolded and degraded. It is un...
