Description

Thromboxane A2 Potassium Salt CAS NO 98509-73-0 is a stable, salt-form analog of the potent prostanoid mediator Thromboxane A2 (TXA2). This compound is critical for research into platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction, and related cardiovascular and thrombotic pathways. It is an essential biochemical tool for pharmaceutical R&D, academic research, and diagnostic assay development focused on hemostasis, inflammation, and vascular biology.

Application

• Pharmacological Research: Used as a reference standard and agonist in studies of TXA2 receptor (TP receptor) signaling and function.
• Cardiovascular & Thrombosis Studies: Essential for in vitro and ex vivo models investigating platelet activation, aggregation, and the development of anti-thrombotic agents.
• Biochemical Assay Development: Serves as a key component in the development and validation of enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) and other diagnostic tests for thromboxane pathway activity.
• Drug Discovery & Screening: Utilized in high-throughput screening (HTS) campaigns to identify and characterize novel TXA2 synthase inhibitors or receptor antagonists.
• Vascular Biology Research: Applied in studies exploring vasoconstriction, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and endothelial dysfunction.
• Academic & Institutional Research: A fundamental reagent for university and institutional labs studying eicosanoid biology, inflammation, and related disease mechanisms.
