Ile bond in factor X to form factor Xa
Reaction: Selective cleavage of ArgIle bond in factor X to form factor Xa
Other names: activated Christmas factor; blood-coagulation factor IXa; activated blood-coagulation factor IX; autoprothrombin II; blood platelet cofactor II; activated blood coagulation factor XI
Comments: A chymotrypsin homologue, and one of the γ-carboxyglutamic acid-containing blood coagulation factors. The proenzyme factor IX is activated by factor XIa. In peptidase family S1 (trypsin family)
