Histamine H1 Receptors
Description
Histamine H1 Receptors are a subtype of Histamine Receptors.
Biological Function of Histamine H1 Receptors
Immune System
Histamine H1 Receptors are located throughout the body, but are particularly prominent in the Bronchioles, Skin, Uterus and Blood Vessels:
Stimulation of Histamine H1 Receptors by Histamine causes the biochemical reactions that are involved in Inflammation during Allergies.
Theses Substances may Interfere with Histamine H1 Receptors
Prescribed Medications
Histamine H1 Receptor Antagonists bind to and block the effect of Histamine on Histamine H1 Receptors.
Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) bind to and block Histamine H1 Receptors (i.e. they function as partial, non-selective Antagonists of Histamine H1 Receptors) within the Brain - different types of TCAs differ in their affinity for Histamine H1 Receptors.
