Thromboxane A2 receptor

UniProt P21731 Organism Homo sapiens Gene TBXA2R

Also known as: TBXA2R

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.
