Factor Ixa EGR, Bovine Protein

Activation of Factor X By Factor IXa: The intrinsic factor Xase complex consists of an enzyme, factor IXa, and a cofactor, factor VIIIa, assembled on a phospholipid surface in the presence of calcium ions. The enzyme complex proteolytically cleaves a 10,000 molecular weight activation peptide from the NH2-terminal of the heavy chain of factor X, thus expressing the active-site of factor Xa.

Factor IXa functions as a serine protease involved in the activation of the zymogen, factor X, to form the enzyme, factor Xa. The factor IXa enzymatic activity is greatly enhanced by inclusion of its cofactor, factor VIIIa, in the presence of calcium ions on a phospholipid surface. Factor IXa is readily inhibited by antithrombin III, and this inhibition is greatly accelerated by the presence of heparin. Factor IXa is not inhibited by DFP.

Small volumes of Factor IXa EGR, Bovine protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
