B-F9 KO Mice

Basic Information

Description

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 Ca2+ 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.

Application

NovoSeven efficacy evaluation

Animals were randomly divided into Control group or NovoSeven (1 mg/kg), After 30 minutes treatment, the abdominal aorta was collected blood for ATPP (activated partial thromboplastin time) and FIB (Fibrinogen) detection. The results showed that the APTT recovered to normal after drug treatment compared with the control group. FIB values were not significantly different from WT mice. A:ATPP±SEM; B: FIB±SEM.
