Mechanism of action

C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) is a serine protease inhibitor that regulates the contact system and complement cascade. In hereditary angioedema (HAE), deficiency or dysfunction of C1-INH leads to uncontrolled activation of Factor XII and excessive bradykinin production, causing recurrent angioedema attacks. Replacement with human C1-INH protein restores normal regulation of these pathways and prevents acute swelling episodes.
