Abstract excerpt
Elevated plasma lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for several vascular diseases. Lp(a) particles are generated through the formation of a disulfide bond between Cys4057 of kringle IV type 9, (KIVt9), of the multikringle apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] and a cysteine in apoB-100 low-density lipoprotein (LDL). To better understand this interaction, we have expressed and purified KIVt9 from Escherichia...
