Lipoprotein(a): from ancestral benefit to modern pathogen?

1 Feb 2000

Abstract excerpt

We review current concepts regarding the genetic, structural and metabolic features of lipoprotein(a), a major inherited cardiovascular pathogen. Although lipoprotein(a) is almost completely confined to a subset of primates, the hedgehog produces a lipoprotein(a)-like complex, which appears to have evolved independently from that of humans. The physiological role of lipoprotein(a) in humans is still unclear, and...
