A small amount of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) is constitutively expressed in platelets
Cyclooxygenase (COX) is the rate-limiting enzyme in conversion of arachidonic acid to prostanoids, and has two isoforms, COX1 and COX2, which share ~65% amino acid homology. COX1 is universally expressed in many cell types including platelets; however, expression of COX2 is known to be more limited....
