Background
Histamine is a ubiquitous messenger molecule released from mast cells, enterochromaffin-like cells, and neurons. Its various actions are mediated by a family of histamine receptors, which are a subset of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. This gene encodes a histamine receptor that is predominantly expressed in haematopoietic cells. The protein is thought to play a role in inflammation and allergy reponses. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009],
Function
function:The H4 subclass of histamine receptors could mediate the histamine signals in peripheral tissues. Displays a significant level of constitutive activity (spontaneous activity in the absence of agonist).,induction:Expression is either up-regulated or down-regulated upon activation of the lymphoid tissues and this regulation may depend on the presence of IL-10 or IL-13.,miscellaneous:Does not bind diphenhydramine, loratadine, ranitidine, cimetidine and chlorpheniramine. Shows modest affinity for dimaprit, impromidine, clobenpropit, thioperamide, burimamide clozapine, immepip and imetit. The order of inhibitory activity was imetit > clobenpropit > burimamide > thioperamide. Clobenpropit behaves as a partial agonist, dimaprit and impromidine show some agonist activity while clozapine behaves as a full agonist. Thioperamide shows inverse agonism (enhances cAMP activity). The order of
