Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Factor IX binds to collagen type IV, but this binding has no known consequence. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of reduced binding of FIX to collagen IV. METHODS: We constructed and characterized 'knock-in' mice containing the mutation lysine 5 to alanine (K5A) in the Gla domain of their FIX. The K5A mutation dramatically reduced the affinity of FIX for collagen type IV, but had no measurable...
