Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables thromboxane receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction; regulation of vasoconstriction; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aspirin-induced respiratory disease; asthma; and blood platelet disease. Orthologous to human TBXA2R (thromboxane A2 receptor).
