Agonist Comments
References [16,31-32] use human platelet preparations instead of transfected cells.

PGH2 and TXA2 are only rarely used as TP agonists owing to their instability under physiological conditions; U46619 is an appropriate substitute. Partial agonism is common among close analogues of PGH2 and TXA2.

References given alongside the TP receptor agonists I-BOP [27] and STA2 [4] use human platelets as the source of TP receptors for competition radio-ligand binding assays to determine the indicated activity values.

Antagonist Comments
References [4,11,18,22,31,33,36,44] use human platelet preparations instead of transfected cells.

A wide range of structurally diverse TP antagonists are known; GR-32191 and SQ-29548 are in common use. Agents combining TP antagonism and IP agonism [5,10,28] and TP antagonism and TX synthase inhibition [48] are known.

Biologically Significant Variants
Two splice variants of the TP receptor have been found in humans, TPα and TPβ, containing an identical 328 amino acid sequence but differing in their 15 amino acid and 79 amino acid, respectively, C-terminal regions. They have identical ligand and G protein binding properties, similarly regulate PLC, but they are differentially expressed throughout the body and oppositely regulate adeylate cyclase activity.
Type:  Splice variants.
Species:  Human
References:  14,19-20,37,50
An Arg60 -> Leu substitution has been identified in patients suffering from a dominantly inherited bleeding disorder. This mutant receptor displays normal ligand binding but defective signal transduction when expressed in CHO cells.
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism.
Species:  Human
References:  13
