Two anti-peptide antibodies have been raised against the human blood platelet thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 (TXA2/PGH2) receptor. Based on the published sequence of the placental TXA2/PGH2 receptor, two decapeptide segments were selected as potential antigens: one in the first extracellular loop

The biosynthesis of the biologically active metabolites of arachidonic acid involves a number of enzymes that are differentially expressed in cells. Prostaglandins and thromboxanes are derived from the chemically unstable prostaglandin (PG) H(2) intermediate synthesized by PGH synthases (cyclooxygenase-1/2) and

European journal of biochemistry, 109(2), 561-566 (1980-08-01)
The present report describes the interactions of human plasma proteins with the unstable endoperoxide, prostaglandin H2 and thromboxane A2, generated by incubation of platelets with prostaglandin H2 or arachidonic acid. It was found that both compounds reacted very rapidly with

Inspired by a reaction discovered through basic research on the chemistry of the bicyclic peroxide nucleus of the prostaglandin endoperoxide PGH2, we postulated that levulinaldehyde derivatives with prostaglandin side chains, levuglandins (LGs), and structurally isomeric analogues, isolevuglandins (iso[n]LGs), would be
T Kuzuya et al.
Japanese circulation journal, 50(11), 1071-1078 (1986-11-01)
To clarify the mode of action of a selective thromboxane A2 (TXA2) blockade in platelet reactivity, we examined the effect of (E)-3-[4-(1-imidazolylmethyl) phenyl]-2-propenoic acid hydrochloride (OKY-046), a potent TXA2 synthetase inhibitor, on human platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid (1
