Abstract excerpt
The Lp(a) antigen resides in a polypeptide chain that is attached to apolipoprotein B (apoB) by a disulfide bridge. Recently, cDNA for this polypeptide chain (frequently referred to as the Lp(a) polypeptide chain, Lp(a) apolipoprotein or apolipoprotein (a] was cloned and extensive homology to plasminogen was uncovered. This homology creates significant difficulties in studying DNA variation in the gene (the LPA...
