Tbxas1 - thromboxane A synthase 1

Predicted to enable heme binding activity; hydroperoxy icosatetraenoate dehydratase activity; and thromboxane-A synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular chloride ion homeostasis; positive regulation of vasoconstriction; and response to ethanol. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Used to study acute necrotizing pancreatitis; artery disease (multiple); brain infarction; glomerulonephritis (multiple); and thrombosis. Biomarker of hydronephrosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ghosal hematodiaphyseal syndrome; cerebral infarction; and platelet-type bleeding disorder 14. Orthologous to human TBXAS1 (thromboxane A synthase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
