Histamine [2-4-Imidazoyl)ethylamine] is produced by decarboxylation of its precursor, histidine, by histidine decarboxylase.
It is widely distributed compound in peripheral tissues, where it influences as variety of physiological activities including inflammation, gastric acid secretion, and smooth muscle contraction.
Histamine is localized in mast cells, neuronal cells, and neuroendocrine cells of the gastric tract, lung, and kidney, in cerebrovascular endothelial cell, and in the peripheral nervous system.
It has potent vasodilatory and plasma extravasation effects on capillaries when secreted from mast cells in allergic hypersensitivity responses or inflammation.
Histamine interacts with at least 3 receptor subtypes: H1, H2, H3 receptors that differ in their pharmacological properties.
