The post-translational modification of the glutamic acid residues of the FIX polypeptide is carried out by vitamin K-dependent  -glutamyl carboxylase (1). Vitamin K-dependent carboxylase is a membrane associated protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. It converts a multiple of glutamic acid residues which are located within 40 residues of a propeptide-containing sequence into  -[http://www.molecular-haemostasis.de/grfx/pix/research_02_big.jpg carboxyglutamate] (2).
