Ala and ArgVal bonds in factor IX to form factor IXa
Reaction: Selective cleavage of ArgAla and ArgVal bonds in factor IX to form factor IXa
Other name(s): blood-coagulation factor XIa; activated blood-coagulation factor XI; activated plasma thromboplastin antecedent
Comments: In peptidase family S1 (trypsin family), and one of the γ-carboxyglutamic acid-containing blood coagulation factors. The proenzyme factor XI is activated by factor XIIa
