 Histamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Histamine is a biogenic amine chemical involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut and acting as a neurotransmitter.
Histamine is derived from the decarboxylation of the amino acid histidine, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme L-histidine decarboxylase.
histamine receptor - found on smooth muscle, endothelium, and central nervous system tissue; causes vasodilation, bronchoconstriction, smooth muscle activation, and separation of endothelial cells (responsible for hives), and pain and itching due to insect stings; the primary receptors involved in allergic rhinitis symptoms and motion sickness.

Histamine H3 receptors, which are predominantly expressed in the CNS, act as autoreceptors in presynaptic neurons, and control histamine turnover.
Histamine H3 antagonists were first investigated as possible modulators of food intake however it is now clear that histamine H3 receptors are involved in arousal disorders (eg attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - ADHD) and conditions associated with reduced cognition (eg Alzheimer's disease).
The identification of H3 receptor antagonists has received considerable attention in the field of attention and cognitive disorders since first generation antagonists were shown to promote attention and wakefulness and improve short-term and social memory in rodents.

Although their activating ligands vary widely in structure and character, the amino acid sequences of the receptors are very similar and are believed to adopt a common structural framework comprising 7 transmembrane (TM) helices [2, 3, 4].
Histamine is distributed within mast cells in all peripheral tissues and is a well-characterised mediator of inflammation and allergy [5].
The receptor is distributed widely in the periphery, notably smooth muscle, where it stimulates contraction, and also in the adrenal medulla, vascular endothelium and heart.

H2 blockers prevent histamine from stimulating this pump, thereby reducing the amount of acid that is released into the stomach.
