[1] [2] Histamine is a neurotransmitter involved in various physiological processes. There are four main types of histamine receptors: H1, H2, H3, and H4. H1 receptors are linked to allergic responses, H2 to gastric acid regulation, H3 to neurotransmitter release modulation, and H4 to immune system function. There are four known histamine ...
The H 1 receptor is a histamine receptor belonging to the family of rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptors. This receptor is activated by the biogenic amine histamine . It is expressed in smooth muscles , on vascular endothelial cells , in the heart, and in the central nervous system .
Histamine H 3 receptor: Located in the central nervous system and to a lesser extent peripheral nervous system tissue Autoreceptor and heteroreceptor functions: decreased neurotransmitter release of histamine, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, serotonin. Modulates nociception, gastric acid secretion, and food intake. [23] Histamine H 4 receptor
The gene sequence for H 3 receptors expresses only about 22% and 20% homology with both H 1 and H 2 receptors respectively. There is much interest in the histamine H 3 receptor as a potential therapeutic target because of its involvement in the neuronal mechanism behind many cognitive disorders and especially its location in the central nervous ...
H 2 receptors are a type of histamine receptor found in many parts of the anatomy of humans and other animals. They are positively coupled to adenylate cyclase via G s alpha subunit. It is a potent stimulant of cAMP production, which leads to activation of protein kinase A. [5] PKA functions to phosphorylate certain proteins, affecting their ...

A histamine agonist is a drug which causes increased activity at one or more of the four histamine receptor subtypes. H 1 agonists promote wakefulness. [1] H 2: Betazole and Impromidine are examples of agonists used in diagnostics to increase histamine. H 3: Betahistine is a weak Histamine 1 agonist and a very strong antagonist of the Histamine ...
