Abstract
Background: Human coagulation factor IX (hFIX) is a glycoprotein with two N-glycosylation sites at the activation peptide. Since the activation peptide is removed in mature hFIX, the exact role of N-glycosylation is unclear. To investigate the role of N-glycosylation in the secretion and activity of hFIX, we inhibited N-glycosylation by tunicamycin in the stable Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK)coagulation Factor IX (FIX) cells.
