Histidine ball and stick model spinning. Histidine (symbol His or H) [2] is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated –NH 3 + form under biological conditions), a carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated –COO − form under biological conditions), and an imidazole side chain (which is partially ...

d-Fructose-l-histidine (FruHis) is a ketosamine combining the d-isomer of fructose and the l-isomer of histidine into a functional group. FruHis is present in dried fruits . In interaction with lycopene , FruHis is a potential food related antioxidant and chemopreventive agent, found abundantly in dried tomatoes .
A study demonstrated that the free N-terminal of histidine on anserine and carnosine protect against zinc-caused neurotoxicity and regulate the Arc pathway in which Arc protein is used to produce dendrite protein for connecting nerve cells. [8] Both Anserine and Carnosine are chelating agents for copper and other transition metals. [9]
Aromatic amino acids often serve as the precursors to important biochemicals. Histidine is the precursor to histamine.; Tryptophan is the precursor to 5-hydroxytryptophan and then serotonin, tryptamine, auxin, kynurenines, and melatonin.
α-Fluoromethylhistidine (α-FMH) is an irreversible specific inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase (HDC). [1] It functions by forming a covalent linkage with a catalytic serine residue on the active site of HDC. Due to its efficacy in reducing histamine levels in tissue mast cells, it has many applications in the study of histaminergic systems. [2]
Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is a dipeptide molecule, made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues. [citation needed] Carnosine was discovered by Russian chemist Vladimir Gulevich. [1] Carnosine is naturally produced by the body in the liver [2] from beta-alanine and histidine.
Histidine ammonia-lyase is a cytosolic enzyme catalyzing the first reaction in histidine catabolism, the nonoxidative deamination of L-histidine to trans-urocanic acid. [5] The reaction is catalyzed by 3,5-dihydro-5-methyldiene-4 H -imidazol-4-one (MIO), an electrophilic cofactor which is formed autocatalytically by cyclization of the protein ...
