Background
thromboxane A2 receptor(TBXA2R) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. The protein interacts with thromboxane A2 to induce platelet aggregation and regulate hemostasis. A mutation in this gene results in a bleeding disorder. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009],disease:Defects in TBXA2R are the cause of a dominantly inherited bleeding disorder [MIM:188070].,function:Receptor for thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a potent stimulator of platelet aggregation. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. In the kidney, the binding of TXA2 to glomerular TP receptors causes intense vasoconstriction. Activates phospholipase C. Isoform 1 activates adenylyl cyclase, isoform 2 inhibits adenylyl cyclase.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,
