Gene nameLPA
Protein nameLipoprotein, Lp(A)
Apolipoprotein(a) (Apo(a)) (Lp(a)) (EC 3.4.21.-)
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Apo(a) is the main constituent of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)). It has serine proteinase activity and is able of autoproteolysis. Inhibits tissue-type plasminogen activator 1. Lp(a) may be a ligand for megalin/Gp 330. .
