Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (symbol α1AC,[5]A1AC, or a1ACT) is an
alpha globulinglycoprotein that is a member of the
serpin superfamily. In humans, it is encoded by the SERPINA3gene.
Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin is also associated with the
pathogenesis of
Alzheimer's disease as it enhances the formation of amyloid-fibrils in this disease.[6]
