Thromboxane Synthase is a useful marker for the detection of native thromboxane synthase in smears, isolated cells, human tissue sections, and for affinity purification of the enzyme. In combination with the markers 27E10, RM 3/1 and 25F9, anti Thromboxane Synthase enables a more precise characterization of inflammatory processes in injured tissues, or in vitro cell-cell interaction studies.
Distribution of thromboxane synthase in human tissues: Thromboxane synthase is predominantly produced by macrophages or antigen presenting cells of the myelo-monocytic lineage as shown below. Endothelial cells of placenta and epithelial cells in tonsils and bronchi also express this enzyme.
Tissue Specificity: Platelets, lung, kidney, spleen, macrophages and lung fibroblasts.
DISEASE: Defects in TBXAS1 are the cause of Ghosal hematodiaphyseal dysplasia (GHDD) [MIM:231095]. GHDD is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased bone density with predominant diaphyseal involvement and aregenerative corticosteroid-sensitive anemia. Aregenerative anemia is characterized by bone marrow failure, so that functional marrow cells are regenerated slowly or not at all.
Defects in TBXAS1 are the cause of thromboxane synthetase deficiency (TBXAS1 deficiency) [MIM:27436]. It is characterized by hemorrhagic diathesis.
Similarity: Belongs to the cytochrome P450 family.
