Thromboxane A2 Receptor (TP)

Target
TP
Molecular classification
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), Receptor, Seven-transmembrane domain receptor
01

Overview

The thromboxane A2 receptor (TP) is a G protein-coupled receptor that mediates the actions of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), a potent eicosanoid involved in platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction, and various inflammatory responses. It is a key target for antithrombotic therapies.

Other names
TBXA2RThromboxane/prostaglandin H₂ receptorProstanoid TP receptor
02

Mechanism of action

Thromboxane A2 receptor antagonists block the binding of thromboxane A2 to the TP receptor, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction, and other downstream effects.
