General Annotation
Function:
Thromboxane B2 is an inactive metabolite/product of thromboxane A2. It is almost completely cleared in the urine.
It itself is not involved in platelet activation and aggregation in case of a wound, but its precursor, thromboxane A2, is. Thromboxane A2 synthesis is the target of the drug aspirin, which inhibits the COX-1 enzyme (the source of thromboxane A2 in platelets).
