Return to overview

The isomerisation of PGH2 to TXA2 is performed by TXAS. This reaction includes the rearrangement of the peroxide functional group by the protein’s heme group, whereby one oxygen is incorporated into the cyclopentane ring between C11 and C12 to form an oxane ring, whilst the other forms an epoxide group across the oxane ring between C9 and C11. This enzyme is located on the ER membrane and is a member of the cytochrome P450 family based upon the genetic sequence.

TXA2 and TXB2 bind to the TP receptor and have been found to increase T-cell proliferation (Thomas, Rocha et al. 2003). However this species is found in low concentration in the cutaneous compartment, therefore it has been deduced that the species originates from infiltrating cells from the vascular system such as leukocytes and endothelial cells (Sugimoto, Arai et al. 2006).
