title: Dominant role of the C-terminal domain in the binding of apolipoprotein(a) to the protein core of proteoglycans and other members of the vascular matrix.
abstract: The C-terminal domain of apolipoprotein(a) binds in vitro to the protein core of proteoglycans as well as fibrinogen and fibronectin, suggesting that this domain plays a role in anchoring lipoprotein(a) or free apolipoprotein(a) to the vascular subendothelial matrix.
