The metabolism of lipoprotein (a): an ever-evolving story
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is characterized by apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] covalently bound to apolipoprotein B 100. It was described in human plasma by Berg et al. in 1963 and the gene encoding apo(a) (LPA) was cloned in 1987 by Lawn and colleagues. Epidemiologic and genetic studies demonstrate that i...
