Thromboxane B2
Thromboxane B2 (CAS: 54397-85-2, Formula: C20H34O6) is a stable metabolite of thromboxane A2. This eicosanoid plays a significant role in platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction. Its biological activity makes it a valuable tool in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to cardiovascular function, inflammation, and cell signaling pathways. Thromboxane B2 serves as an important standard and research reagent for investigating prostaglandin and leukotriene metabolism.
