sorry,
correct is 1-antitrypsin
Disorders of the enzyme include alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, a hereditary disorder in which lack of alpha 1-antitrypsin leads to uninhibited tissue breakdown during inflammation. This causes pulmonary emphysema and leads to liver cirrhosis in severe cases.
A remarkable form of Pi, termed PiPittsburgh, functions as an antithrombin (a related serpin), due to a mutation (Met358Arg). One patient with this abnormality has been described; he died of a lethal bleeding diathesis.

Guys, I have no idea what the answer to this q is. I got this q from an older thread on this website and it didn't have any explanations.
So unfortunately, I can't say what the right answer is.
