Expert Solution

Step 1

Factor IX is a blood clotting protein, which belongs to the family of peptidase Sl. It was found in 1952; the lacking of this protein causes the disease hemophilia (continuous bleeding without coagulation). It is also known as the Christmas disease. It helps in making clots whenever bleeding occurs in the body to control the overflow of the bleeding.
