Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables thromboxane-A synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular chloride ion homeostasis; positive regulation of vasoconstriction; and prostaglandin biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid biosynthetic process and prostaglandin metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including bone marrow; brain; liver; lung; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ghosal hematodiaphyseal syndrome and cerebral infarction. Orthologous to human TBXAS1 (thromboxane A synthase 1).
