FA9 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Ab type

Primary antibody

Background

This gene encodes vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor IX that circulates in the blood as an inactive zymogen. This factor is converted to an active form by factor XIa| which excises the activation peptide and thus generates a heavy chain and a light chain held together by one or more disulfide bonds. The role of this activated factor IX in the blood coagulation cascade is to activate factor X to its active form through interactions with Ca+2 ions| membrane phospholipids| and factor VIII. Alterations of this gene| including point mutations| insertions and deletions| cause factor IX deficiency| which is a recessive X-linked disorder| also called hemophilia B or Christmas disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing.
