Abstract excerpt
Thromboxane synthase (CYP5A1) is a non-classical cytochrome P450 (CYP) expressed in human platelets that mediates vascular homeostasis by producing thromboxane A2 (TXA2) through the isomerization of prostaglandin H2 (PGH2). A homology alignment of CYP5A1 with human CYPs indicates that a highly conserved I-helix threonine residue is occupied by an isoleucine at position 346 in CYP5A1. We find that...
