    Biological targets of histamine in the human body G-protein coupled receptor Location Function Sources; Histamine H 1 receptor • CNS: Expressed on the dendrites of the output neurons of the histaminergic tuberomammillary nucleus, which projects to the dorsal raphe, locus coeruleus, and additional structures.

  3. Histamine receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histamine_receptor

    The histamine receptors are a class of G protein–coupled receptors which bind histamine as their primary endogenous ligand. [1] [2] Histamine receptors are proteins that bind with histamine, a neurotransmitter involved in various physiological processes. There are four main types: H1, H2, H3, and H4.

  4. Histamine H2 receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histamine_H2_receptor

    Histamine is a ubiquitous messenger molecule released from mast cells, enterochromaffin-like cells, and neurons. [5] Its various actions are mediated by histamine receptors H 1, H 2, H 3 and H 4. The histamine receptor H 2 belongs to the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors.

  5. Histamine H1 receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histamine_H1_receptor

    Histamine H 1 receptors are activated by endogenous histamine, which is released by neurons that have their cell bodies in the tuberomammillary nucleus of the hypothalamus. The histaminergic neurons of the tuberomammillary nucleus become active during the 'wake' cycle, firing at approximately 2 Hz; during slow wave sleep , this firing rate ...

  6. Mast cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_cell

    A mast cell (also known as a mastocyte or a labrocyte [1]) is a resident cell of connective tissue that contains many granules rich in histamine and heparin.Specifically, it is a type of granulocyte derived from the myeloid stem cell that is a part of the immune and neuroimmune systems.

  7. Tuberomammillary nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberomammillary_nucleus

    The tuberomammillary nucleus (TMN) is a histaminergic nucleus located within the posterior third of the hypothalamus. [1] It is part of the tuber cinereum. [2] It largely consists of histaminergic neurons (i.e. histamine-releasing neurons). It is involved with the control of arousal, learning, memory, sleep and energy balance. [1]

  8. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
