'''Thromboxane A2''' (TXA2) is a ]. It is produced by activated platelets and has prothrombotic properties: it stimulates activation of new platelets as well as increases platelet aggregation. This is achieved by mediating expression of the glycoprotein complex GP IIb/IIIa in the cell membrane of platelets. Circulating ] binds these receptors on adjacent platelets, further strengthening the clot.


Receptors that mediate TXA2 actions are ]. The human TXA2 receptor (TP) is a typical G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) with seven transmembrane segments. In humans, two TP receptor splice variants - TPα and TPβ - have so far been cloned. Receptors that mediate TXA<sub>2</sub> actions are ].

Contrastly, TXA<sub>2</sub> vascular tissue synthesis is stimulated by angiotensin II which promotes cyclooxygenase I's metabolism of arachidonic acid.
