Coagulation Factor IX is positioned at the merging point of the intrinsic and extrinsic blood coagulation cascades. Factor IXa (activated Factor IX) serves as the trigger for amplification of coagulation through formation of the so-called Xase complex, which is a ternary complex of Factor IXa, its substrate Factor X and the cofactor Factor VIIIa on the surface of activated platelets ...
