Real Time Cell Analysis of Model Target Cell Lines Exposed to Purified Lipoprotein (a)

Alice Santonastaso & Claudia Scotti · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2016

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a novel independent cardiovascular risk factor and it includes, beyond apoB100, apolipoprotein (a), whose molecular weight is dependent on the number of genetically encoded kringle IV type 2 repeats and inversely related with Lp(a) plasma concentration....

Lp(a) is a novel cardiovascular risk factor resembling an LDL particle. It includes a copy of apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)], whose molecular weight is dependent on the number of genetically encoded kringle IV type 2 (KIV-2) repeats and inversely related with Lp(a) plasma concentrat...
