Thromboxane-A synthase is a cytochrome P450 heme-thiolate enzyme that converts prostaglandin H2 into thromboxane A2. It converts (5Z,13E,15S)-9α,11α-epidioxy-15-hydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate into (5Z,13E,15S)-9α,11α-epoxy-15-hydroxythromboxa-5,13-dienoate. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms. Structurally it is a CYP5A1 thromboxane synthase.
