Abstract:
Thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) has recently become a target of intense research because of its myriad of potent pathophysiological properties. Recent progress in TXA(2) research is reviewed in relation to: (1) characterisation of TXA, receptors in platelets and vasculature by kinetic analysis, with evidence for the presence of distinctive receptor subtypes; (2) actions of TXA(2) in platelets and vasculature via their own receptors, i.e. biochemical mechanisms of signal transduction; and (3) pathophysiological roles of TXA(2) and clinical perspectives of TXA(2) blocking therapy.

Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
