Coagulation Factor IX (FIX)

Target
FIX
Molecular classification
Serine protease zymogen, Peptidase family S1, Vitamin K-dependent protein
01

Overview

Coagulation Factor IX (FIX), also known as Christmas factor, is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease zymogen essential for normal hemostasis and blood clot formation. It is activated to Factor IXa by Factor XIa or VIIa/tissue factor, which then forms a complex with Factor VIIIa to activate Factor X. Deficiency or dysfunction leads to hemophilia B, treated with replacement therapy using plasma-derived or recombinant FIX.
