Background
As the only known physiological activator of thrombin, Factor X is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protease that plays a pivotal role in blood coagulation. Human Factor X is initially synthesized in the liver as a single-chain precursor of 488 amino acid residues with a signal peptide and a pro region (residues 1‑40). Both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways activate Factor X to Xa, which consists of light (residues 41‑179) and heavy (residues 235‑488) chains linked by a disulfide bond. The light chain contains a Gla and two EGF‑like domains and the heavy chain corresponds to the serine protease domain. The full-length human Factor X was expressed and the pro enzyme was purified and activated. The active protease (rhFactor Xa) was further purified and analyzed for its activity towards either peptides or proteins containing a Xa cleavage site. In addition to the activity described in the Activity Assay Protocol, rhFactor Xa also can be used to cleave fusion proteins containing a Factor Xa cleavage site. The conditions for the optimal cleavage of a particular fusion protein, such as the molar ratio between rhFXa and the protein and time and temperature of incubation, are protein-dependent and need to be individually determined.
Manufacturing Process
Animal Component-Free Process (ACFP) Manufacturing Conditions
R&D Systems Animal Component-Free Process (ACFP) recombinant proteins are expressed in an animal-free certified Sf 9 insect cell line using dedicated animal-free raw materials and labware. Production and purification procedures use equipment and media that are confirmed animal-free but performed outside our dedicated animal-free laboratories. Every stage of the manufacturing process follows R&D Systems' stringent Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The certified Sf 9 insect cell bank has undergone extensive testing to certify the lack of cytopathogens by screening for various viruses, Mycoplasma, and Spiroplasmas using both in vitro and in vivo testing methods. For ex vivo research or bioproduction, additional documentation can be provided.
