Product details
Abcam's Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in vitro competitive ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the accurate quantitative measurement of Thromboxane B2 in biological fluids.
A goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards or test samples are added to the wells, along with an alkaline phosphatase (AP) conjugated-TXB2 antigen and a rabbit polyclonal antibody specific to TXB2. After incubation the excess reagents are washed away and pNpp substrate is added. After a short incubation the enzyme reaction is stopped and a yellow color is generated. The intensity of the yellow coloration is inversely proportional to the amount of TXB2 captured in the plate.
Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is involved in platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction and reproductive functions, but has a half life of only 37 seconds under physiological conditions. Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) is the stable product of the non-enzymatic hydration of TXA2, thus the production of TXA2 in vivo is typically monitored by measurement of TXB2 and its metabolite 2,3-dinor TXB2. 11-dehydro-TXB2 is a major metabolite of Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) found in urine and plasma produced by its dehydrogenation by the enzyme 11-OH-dehydrogenase.

Biological function summary
Thromboxane B2 plays a role in platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction. It is part of the Thromboxane complex which includes other prostaglandins and their metabolites. The biological actions of TXB2 demonstrate its involvement in the modulation of blood flow and blood clot formation. As a non-active but stable marker TXB2 offers insights into the activity and levels of its more unstable precursor impacting processes related to vascular tone.
Pathways
TXB2 is part of the arachidonic acid pathway and is linked to the regulation of hemostasis. This pathway interacts with prostacyclin forming a balance between constriction and dilation of blood vessels. TXB2 emerges from the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme’s activity closely connected with other pathway members like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. It provides a measurement for understanding Thromboxane A2’s effects and the body's response to injury or inflammation.
