Human coagulation factor IX serves both to maintain and to control blood coagulation. The dual function of this hemophilic factor is implemented by a tiered activation mechanism. Processed two-chain factor IXa is catalytically silent; only together with its cofactor VIIIa does factor IXa form the highly potent Xase complex ...
