Thromboxane B2

Description

Description of thromboxane B2 with associated disease summary

Disease summary

Thromboxane B2

Thromboxane A2 (TxA2) is implicated in inflammation in asthmatic airway. TxA2 is converted to chemically stable Thromboxane B2 (TxB2) rapidly, so TxB2 is measured instead of TxA2 in asthmatic subjects. TxB2 was usually measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). However, it was reported that TxB2 was undetectable in EIA. Authors have found radioimmunoassay (RIA) used in their lab may be useful in detecting TxB2 (Inflamm. Res, (2005)). Description of disease(s) related to Thromboxane B2:

Asthma

Thromboxane B2 which is converted from Thromboxane A2 is higher measured concentrations in asthma subjects than in healthy subjects.

Summary of extracted biomedical information

Thromboxane b2 is associated with abnormalities such as Asthma. The involved biomedical functions are known as Thromboxane Production, attenuation and Synthesis.

Asthma MeSH: Asthma
A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL).
