Recent Advances in Molecular Pharmacology of the Histamine Systems: Organic Cation Transporters as a Histamine Transporter and Histamine Metabolism
Abstract.: Histamine is inactivated by the histamine-metabolizing enzyme histamine N-methyl-transferase (HNMT) in bronchus, kidney, and the central nervous system. HNMT seems to be localized in the cytoplasm, but histamine is unable to easily enter the intracellular space. Therefore, two hypotheses...
