Gene:
thromboxane A2 receptor
Gene ID:
195499
Symbol:
TBXA2R
Species:
1000
Description:
Receptor for thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a potent stimulator of platelet aggregation. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. In the kidney, the binding of TXA2 to glomerular TP receptors causes intense vasoconstriction.
