Abstract excerpt
Like humans, baboons possess apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]), a unique protein component of the atherogenic lipoprotein [a] (Lp[a]) particle. Baboon apo[a] also exhibits extensive variation with respect to size and serum levels. In this report, we have cloned the 5' flanking region of the baboon apo[a] gene (I isoform) and performed promoter mapping studies to identify sequences that control apo[a] transcription. The...
