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.
