Binds leukotriene C4, leukotriene D4, leukotriene E4 and U-46619, a stable analog of thromboxane A2 (PubMed:35568118). Does not bind leukotriene B4, adrenaline, histamine and ADP (PubMed:35568118). Inhibits platelet aggregation induced by low concentrations of collagen and arachidonic acid but not by ADP or adrenaline (PubMed:35568118).
