Histamine H1 receptor are metabotropic G-protein-coupled receptors expressed throughout the body, specifically in smooth muscles, on vascular endothelial cells, in the heart, and in the central nervous system. The H1 receptor is linked to an intracellular G-protein (Gq) which activates phospholipase C and the phosphatidylinositol (PIP2) signalling pathway.

H1 receptor and inflammation

The production of prostaglandin E2 synthase induces the release of histamine from neurons, consequentially causing systemic vasodilation, along with increased cell permeability due to the its action on H1 receptors.


Neurophysiology

Histamine H1 receptors are activated by endogenous histamine, which is released by neurons which have their cell bodies in the tuberomamillary nucleus of the hypothalamus. The histaminergic neurons of the tuberomammillary nucleus become active during the 'wake' cycle, firing at approximately 2Hz; during slow wave sleep this firing rate drops to approximately 0.5Hz. Finally during REM sleep, histaminergic neurons stop firing all together. It has been reported that histaminergic neurons have the most wake-selective firing pattern of all known neuronal types.[1] The hypothalamus links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland (hypophysis). ... Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is the normal stage of sleep characterized by rapid movements of the eyes. ...


In the cortex, activation of H1 receptors leads to inhibition of cell membrane potassium channels. This depolarizes the neurons and increases the resistance of the neuronal cell membrane, bringing the cell closer to its firing threshold and increasing the excitatory voltage produced by a given excitatory current. H1 receptor antagonists, or antihistamines, produce drowsiness because they oppose this action, reducing neuronal excitation.[2] For other uses, see Cortex. ... In cell biology, potassium channels are the most common type of ion channel. ... An antihistamine is a drug which serves to reduce or eliminate effects mediated by histamine, an endogenous chemical mediator released during allergic reactions, through action at the histamine receptor. ...


H1-receptor antagonists

see Antihistamine - H1-receptor antagonists An H1 antihistamine is a histamine antagonist which serves to reduce or eliminate effects mediated by histamine, an endogenous chemical mediator released during allergic reactions, through action at the H1 receptor. ...

Histamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (499 words)
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 synthesized by the decarboxylation of the amino acid histidine, a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme L-histidine decarboxylase.
Histamine is broken down by histamine-N-methyltransferase and diamine oxidase, and is also possibly taken up by a transporter.
