Metabolite Identification
Common NameThromboxane
DescriptionThromboxane is a member of the family of lipids known as eicosanoids. It is produced in platelets by thromboxane synthetase, which is produced from the endoperoxides by the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme from arachidonic acid. -- Wikipedia ; Thromboxane is a vasoconstrictor, potent hypertensive agent, and facilitates the clumping of platelets. It is in homeostatic balance in the circulatory system with prostacyclin, a related compound. The widely-used drug aspirin acts by inhibiting the ability of the COX enzyme to synthesize the precursors of thromboxane within platelets. -- Wikipedia Thromboxanes are eicosanoids. The eicosanoids consist of the prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes (TXs), leukotrienes (LTs), and lipoxins (LXs). The PGs and TXs are collectively identified as prostanoids. Prostaglandins were originally shown to be synthesized in the prostate gland, thromboxanes from platelets (thrombocytes), and leukotrienes from leukocytes, hence the derivation of their names. All mammalian cells except erythrocytes synthesize eicosanoids. These molecules are extremely potent, able to cause profound physiological effects at very dilute concentrations. All eicosanoids function locally at the site of synthesis, through receptor-mediated G-protein linked signalling pathways.

Gene Name:
TBXAS1
Uniprot ID:
P24557
Molecular weight:
60648.885
General function:
Involved in G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway
Specific function:
Receptor for thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a potent stimulator of platelet aggregation. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. In the kidney, the binding of TXA2 to glomerular TP receptors causes intense vasoconstriction. Activates phospholipase C. Isoform 1 activates adenylyl cyclase. Isoform 2 inhibits adenylyl cyclase
