Unfortunately, researchers have found it difficult to obtain a crystal structure of TXA synthase due to the requirement of detergent treatment extraction from the membrane but they have utilized homology modeling to create a 3D structure. One model showed two domains, an alpha-helix-rich domain and a beta-sheet-rich domain.
Thromboxane synthase inhibitors inhibit the final enzyme (thromboxane synthase) in the synthesis of thromboxane. Ifetroban is a potent and selective thromboxane receptor antagonist. [10] Dipyridamole antagonizes this receptor too, but has various other mechanisms of antiplatelet activity as well.
Thromboxane A 2 (TXA 2) is generated from prostaglandin H 2 by thromboxane-A synthase in a metabolic reaction which generates approximately equal amounts of 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (12-HHT). Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase 1 preventing the formation of prostaglandin H 2, and therefore TXA 2.
Notable ones include thromboxane synthase (CYP5), prostacyclin synthase (CYP8), and CYP74A (allene oxide synthase). The most common reaction catalyzed by cytochromes P450 is a monooxygenase reaction, e.g., insertion of one atom of oxygen into the aliphatic position of an organic substrate (RH), while the other oxygen atom is reduced to water:
U46619 is a stable synthetic analog of the endoperoxide prostaglandin PGH 2 first prepared in 1975, [1] and acts as a thromboxane A 2 (TP) receptor agonist. It potently stimulates TP receptor-mediated, but not other prostaglandin receptor-mediated responses in various in vitro preparations and exhibits many properties similar to thromboxane A 2, including shape change and aggregation of ...
The thromboxane receptor (TP) also known as the prostanoid TP receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TBXA2R gene, The thromboxane receptor is one among the five classes of prostanoid receptors [5] and was the first eicosanoid receptor cloned. [6] The TP receptor derives its name from its preferred endogenous ligand thromboxane A ...
In molecular biology, prostanoids are active lipid mediators that regulate inflammatory response.Prostanoids are a subclass of eicosanoids consisting of the prostaglandins (mediators of inflammatory and anaphylactic reactions), the thromboxanes (mediators of vasoconstriction), and the prostacyclins (active in the resolution phase of inflammation).

A decrease in Thromboxane-A synthase leads to an increase in prostaglandin E2 levels which may affect erythroid precursor cells by suppressing them which likely leads to refractory anemia. [ 15 ] There are still unanswered questions about the effect of a compromised TBXAS1 gene function and its effect in Ghosal hematodiaphyseal dysplasia.
