Cox1 Knockout Rat
Cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as prostaglandin synthase (PHS) and prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase (PES), is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Rats deficient in COX1 can be used for studying inflammation, thrombosis, vascular defects, platelet defects and alterations in platelet aggregation.Cox1 Knoc…
