Abstract excerpt
Insight into the structural features of human lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] which underlie its functional implication in fibrinolysis may be gained from comparative studies of apo(a). Indeed, cloning of rhesus monkey apo(a) has shown that a Trp72 --> Arg mutation in the lysine-binding site (LBS) of KIV-...
