<span style="color:Brown">'''<scene name='Factor_IX/Ixstructure/4'>Factor IX</scene>'''</span> (plasma thromboplastin component, Christmas factor, or hemophilia B factor) is a 57-kDa vitamin K-dependent procoagulant glycoprotein. It is synthesized by the liver hepatocyte as a [[pre-prozymogen]] that requires extensive posttranslational modification<ref>PMID:2169923</ref>. The [[pre-prozymogen]] contains a pre-peptide (hydrophobic signal peptide) at its amino terminal that transports the growing polypeptide into the lumen of the Endoplasmic Reticulum. Once inside the ER, this signal peptide is cleaved by a signal peptidase.
