Overview

Thromboxane A2 is a thromboxane. It is generated from prostaglandin H2 by thromboxane-A synthase. It is also a major component of blood clots. Aspirin irriversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase preventing the formation of prostaglandin H2, and therefore Thromboxane A2.

Eicosanoid synthesis.
