19 Conclusion 1. Factor IX is activated by enzyme on erythrocyte membrane. The enzymes are homologous to leukocyte elastase, The enzyme activates Factor IX by cleaving several bonds which sites are close to the bonds cleaved by Factor XIa. 2. Identification of Factor IX activating enzyme on erythrocyte membrane could provide a frame work for defining roles in cardiovascular coagulation and for refining strategies in pharmaceutical development.
