Dilution Ratio: WB 1:500-1:2000,ELISA 1:10000-1:20000 Background: This gene encodes vitamin K-dependent coagulation factor IX that circulates in the blood as an inactive zymogen. This factor is converted to an active form by factor XIa, which excises the activation peptide and thus generates a heavy chain and a light chain held together by one or more disulfide bonds. The role of this activated factor IX in the blood coagulation cascade is to activate factor X to its active form through interactions with Ca+2 ions, membrane phospholipids, and factor VIII. Alterations of this gene, including point mutations, insertions and deletions, cause factor IX deficiency, which is a recessive X-linked disorder, also called hemophilia B or Christmas disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing.

Macfarlane used the patient's surname, Christmas, to refer to the disease and also to refer to the clotting factor which he called the 'Christmas Factor' At the time Stephen Christmas was a 5-year-old boy. He died in 1993 at the age of 46 from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome contracted through treatment with blood products.,online information:Clinical information on BeneFix,online information:Factor IX entry,online information:Hemophilia B mutation database,online information:The Christmas Factor -Issue 41 of December 2003,pharmaceutical:Available under the names BeneFix (Baxter and American Home Products). Used to treat hemophilia B.,PTM:Activated by factor XIa, which excises the activation peptide.,PTM:The iron and 2-oxoglutarate dependent 3-hydroxylation of aspartate and asparagine is (R) stereospecific within EGF domains.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.,similarity:Contains 1 Gla (gamma-carboxy-glutamate) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.,similarity:Contains 2 EGF-like domains.,subunit:Heterodimer of a light chain and a heavy chain; disulfide-linked.,tissue specificity:Synthesized primarily in the liver and secreted in plasma., Research Area: Complement and coagulation cascades;
