Coagulation factor IXa
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.4 Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases) > 3.4.21 Serine endopeptidases > 3.4.21.22 coagulation factor IXa
Coagulation factor IXa is a chymotrypsin-homologous serine protease in family S1 and one of the gamma-carboxyglutamic-acid-containing coagulation factors; the proenzyme factor IX is activated by factor XIa, and it selectively cleaves the Arg-Ile bond in factor X to form factor Xa. By propagating the intrinsic coagulation cascade it drives blood coagulation. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms.
