Development of a small molecule that corrects misfolding and increases secretion of Z α1‐antitrypsin

Abstract Severe α1‐antitrypsin deficiency results from the Z allele (Glu342Lys) that causes the accumulation of homopolymers of mutant α1‐antitrypsin within the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes in association with liver disease. We have used a DNA‐encoded chemical library to undertake a high‐thr...
