Functional and metabolic differences between elastase-generated fragments of human lipoprotein[a] and apolipoprotein[a]

We have previously shown that a functional free apolipoprotein[a] (apo[a]) can be isolated from its parent lipoprotein[a] (Lp[a]) by a mild reductive procedure. To shed further light on the properties of Lp[a] and apo[a] we subjected them to a limited proteolysis by porcine pancreatic elastase. This...
