MeSH Heading: Lipoprotein(a)
Tree Number(s): D10.532.350; D12.776.521.400
Unique ID: D017270
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017270
Scope Note: A lipoprotein that resembles the LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS but with an extra protein moiety, APOPROTEIN (A) also known as APOLIPOPROTEIN (A), linked to APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100 on the LDL by one or two disulfide bonds. High plasma level of lipoprotein (a) is associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
