    Thromboxane synthase (TS) catalyzes the conversion of the prostaglandin endoperoxide into thromboxane A2 (TxA2), a potent vasoconstrictor and inducer of platelet aggregation. In concert with prostacyclin TxA2 plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of hemostasis. Deficiency of platelet TS activity has been shown to result in bleeding disorders. The potent effect of TxA2 on platelet function and vascular activity suggests a possible involvement of TS in normal and pathophysiological conditions such as cardiovascular disease. To aid in establishing the correlation of TS to disease states, we localized the human TS gene (TBXAS1) to chromosome 7q34-q35 using dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization.

    All links from this record

    • Related Articles

      Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.

    • Gene

      Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.

    • Gene (OMIM)

      Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.

    • HomoloGene

      HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.

    • Nucleotide (RefSeq)

      NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Nucleotide (Weighted)

      Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • OMIM (calculated)

      Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.

    • OMIM (cited)

      Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as reference cited at the end of the OMIM record.

      NCBI protein Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.

    • Protein (Weighted)

      Protein records associated with the current articles through related Gene database records. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.

    • Substance (MeSH Keyword)

      PubChem chemical substance (submitted) records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.

    • Taxonomy via GenBank

      Taxonomy records associated with the current articles through taxonomic information on related molecular database records (Nucleotide, Protein, Gene, SNP, Structure).

    • UniGene

      UniGene clusters of expressed sequences that are associated with the current articles through references on the clustered sequence records and related Gene records.
