Thromboxane B3 (TXB3) is the stable hydrolysis product of TXA3 synthesized from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; ) by COX and thromboxane synthase. It is biosynthesized in various tissues such as seminal vesicles, lung, PMNL, and ocular tissues.
Thromboxane B3 (TXB3) is the stable hydrolysis product of TXA3 synthesized fromeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; ) by COX and thromboxane synthase. It is biosynthesized in various tissues such as seminal vesicles, lung, PMNL, and ocular tissues.[Cayman Chemical]
