Imidazole6
- Copper in biological systems is usually found surrounded by imidazole moieties from histidine residues [ 13 , 14 ]. (hindawi.com)
- The histamine molecule is a good ligand, which contains not only N atoms (from imidazole ring and aliphatic ammine) but also hydrogen atoms that are good for hydrogen bond formation and therefore are useful in molecular recognition. (hindawi.com)
- Imidazole derivatives are widely found in nature, such as histamine, histidine and benzimidazole, etc. (lookchem.com)
- Because its side arm is a positively charged imidazole ring, L-histidine has aromatic properties (Kulis-Horn et al. (europa.eu)

Decarboxylation1
Receptors6
- Histamine, a biogenic vasoactive amine, causes symptoms such as allergies and has a pleiotropic effect that is dependent on its interaction with its four histamine receptors. (hindawi.com)
- Histamine and its receptors represent a complex system of immunoregulation with distinct effects mediated by four GPCRs (G protein-coupled receptors HRs 1-4) and their differential expression, which changes according to the stage of cell differentiation and microenvironmental influences. (hindawi.com)
- The pleiotropic effects of histamine are mediated by 4 histamine receptors (HRs), H1R, H2R, H3R, and H4R, which are G protein-coupled receptors. (hindawi.com)
- Histamine targets a range of ''histaminergic'' receptors and its various actions are mediated by histamine receptors H1, H2, H3 and H4. (calpoison.org)
- Their main benefit is they primarily affect peripheral histamine receptors and therefore are less sedating. (illnesshacker.com)

- Histamine belongs to an important class of molecules called biogenic amines-potent signaling molecules made from amino acids (amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins-see my protein page for more information). (diagnosisdiet.com)
- That's all well and good, but biogenic amines like histamine aren't just created by special cells within our bodies to do good deeds. (diagnosisdiet.com)
- Some biogenic amines have strong unpleasant odors, which can be useful in figuring out whether a food has gone bad, but histamine itself has no flavor and is odorless, so you can't use the "smell test" to detect its presence. (diagnosisdiet.com)
- In the process, foods like milk, grapes, and meat-which in their fresh forms are virtually histamine-free-can become very high in histamine and other biogenic amines. (diagnosisdiet.com)
Enzyme2
