TXB2: ELISA Kits

Thromboxane A2 (TXA2 ) is involved in platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction and reproductive functions, but has a half life of only 37 seconds under physiological conditions. Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) is the stable product of the non-enzymatic hydration of TXA2, thus the production of TXA2 in vivo is typically monitored by measurement of TXB2 and its metabolite 2,3-dinor TXB2. 11-dehydro-TXB2 is a major metabolite of Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) found in urine and plasma produced by its dehydrogenation by the enzyme 11-OH-dehydrogenase.
