TXB2 (Thromboxane B2) is a stable metabolite of thromboxane A2 in platelets which may be released during anaphylaxis. Reportedly possesses chemotactic properties. Often used to measure arachidonic acid metabolism. It is a prostaglandin derivative that is released during anaphylaxis, which induces arterial contraction and platelet aggregation by stimulating TP-α receptors.
