General Information

Biological Significance The physiological function of Lipoprotein a is still unknown. A function within the coagulation system seems plausible, given the aspect of the high homology between apo(a) and plasminogen. In fact, the LPA gene derives from a duplication of the plasminogen gene. Other functions have been related to recruitment of inflammatory cells through interaction with Mac-1 integrin, angiogenesis, and wound healing. However, individuals without LPA or with very low LPA levels seem to be healthy. Thus plasma LPA is certainly not vital, at least under normal environmental conditions.
