Apolipoprotein (a): a comparison of isoforms identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or by sodium dodecyl sulfate-agarose gel electrophoresis.

Abstract excerpt

Lipoprotein(a) resembles low density lipoprotein in structure, except that a unique apolipoprotein (apo), apo(a), is linked to apo B-100. Variations in the number of sequence repeats in the apo(a) gene give rise to a range of isoforms. Depending on the method used, 6-30 apo(a) isoforms have been observed; however, the correspondence of these different isoforms has not been reported, making between-study...
