A cDNA clone for the mouse thromboxane A 2 receptor was isolated from mouse lung cDNA
library. The cDNA has a 1,023 base pair open reading frame which encodes a protein of 341
amino acid residues. STA 2 and U-46619 induced inward current in Xenopus laevis oocytes
injected with the transcript of the clone. Specific binding of [3 H] S-145 was found in
membranes of COS-1 cells transfected with the cDNA (Kd= 3.3 nM) and was displaced with
unlabeled prostaglandins and thromboxane analogues in the order of S-145> STA 2> U …

Northern blot analysis demonstrated that thromboxane A2 receptor mRNA is expressed abundantly in thymus, spleen and lung.
