Scientific background

Thromboxane A2 (TxA2) is a prostanoid that is synthesized from arachidonic acid and plays an important role in haemostasis, a process regulating platelet aggregation and vascular tone. Thromboxane A2 binds to the thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R) to induce strong vasoconstriction in renal arteries.

Thromboxane A2 receptor is a seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor localized on the cell membrane and in intracellular compartments. TBXA2R is expressed in the central nervous system in several types of cells, such as microglia, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. Imbalances in the levels of the receptor is widely implicated in several cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal and prostate pathologies^1-3.

Thromboxane A2 receptor mediates vasoconstriction and ischemia and its activation is implicated in atherosclerosis and inflammation. Activation of the receptor induces endothelial cell apoptosis by inhibiting Akt phosphorylation and also inhibits endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis by decreasing Akt and eNOS phosphorylation^1-3.

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

Isotype controls are primary antibodies that lack specificity to the target, but match the class and type of the primary antibody used in the application. Isotype controls are used as negative controls to help differentiate non-specific background signal from specific antibody signal.

Our Rabbit IgG Isotype Control-FITC (#RIC-001-F), was specifically developed to be used as a negative control in surface staining flow cytometry along our line of rabbit primary surface staining antibodies conjugated to FITC.
