Oxidative events cause degradation of apoB-100 but not of apo[a] and facilitate enzymatic cleavage of both proteins
Lipoprotein [a] (Lp[a]) contains equimolar amounts of apoB-100 and apolipoprotein [a] (apo[a]). Both proteins are amenable to degradation in vivo by mechanisms yet to be clearly defined. In this study, we examined the in vitro susceptibility of LDL and Lp[a], obtained from the same donor, to oxidati...
