UniProt functional annotation for P16293

UniProt code: P16293.

Organism: Sus scrofa (Pig).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Suina; Suidae; Sus.
 
Function: Factor IX is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein that participates in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation by converting factor X to its active form in the presence of Ca(2+) ions, phospholipids, and factor VIIIa. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00740}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Selective cleavage of Arg-|-Ile bond in factor X to form factor Xa.; EC=3.4.21.22; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00740};
Subunit: Heterodimer of a light chain and a heavy chain; disulfide- linked. Interacts with SERPINC1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7568220}.
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00740}.
Domain: Calcium binds to the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) residues in the Gla domain. Calcium can also bind, with stronger affinity, to another site beyond the Gla domain. Under physiological ion concentrations, Ca(2+) is displaced by Mg(2+) from some of the gammaglutamate residues in the N-terminal Gla domain. This leads to a subtle conformation change that may affect the interaction with its binding protein. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00741}.
Ptm: Activated by factor XIa, which excises the activation peptide. The propeptide can also be removed by snake venom protease. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00740}.
Ptm: The iron and 2-oxoglutarate dependent 3-hydroxylation of aspartate and asparagine is (R) stereospecific within EGF domains. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00740}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00274}.
