Histamine has two basic centres, namely the aliphatic amino group and whichever nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring does not already have a proton. Under physiological conditions, the aliphatic amino group (having a pK a around 9.4) will be protonated, whereas the second nitrogen of the imidazole ring (pK a ≈ 5.8) will not be protonated. [11]
Histidine decarboxylase is the primary biological source of histamine. Histamine is an important biogenic amine that moderates numerous physiologic processes. There are four different histamine receptors, H 1, H 2, H 3, and H 4, [16] each of which carries a different biological significance.
Lupin are the yellow legume seeds of the genus Lupinus.They are traditionally eaten as a pickled snack food, primarily in the Mediterranean basin (), Latin America (L. mutabilis) and North Africa (L. angustifolius).
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.
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.
A scanning electron microscope image of a single neutrophil (yellow/right), engulfing anthrax bacteria (orange/left) – scale bar is 5 μm (false color). The immune system is a network of biological systems that protects an organism from diseases.
Histamine is a weak base (a compound able to react with a hydrogen ion to form an acid) that can link with acid groups within the granules of the mast cells. [8] The mechanism of the displacement theory. The crux of this theory lies in the assumption that histamine liberators release histamine by displacing it from cells.
Interactions between the host plant and phyllosphere bacteria have the potential to drive various aspects of host plant physiology. [ 8 ] [ 2 ] [ 9 ] However, as of 2020 knowledge of these bacterial associations in the phyllosphere remains relatively modest, and there is a need to advance fundamental knowledge of phyllosphere microbiome dynamics.
