Function: 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.

Genetic variants

The reference genome sequence encodes a variant that contains 16 Kringle domains and that lack residues 533 to 3040. Depending on the individual, the encoded protein contains 2-43 copies of kringle-type domains. The allele represented here contains 38 copies of the kringle-type repeats.
