Antagonist Comments
VUF 4904 is a neutral antagonist [58]. The affinity of VUF14738 decreases to 646 nM in the trans configuration adopted in the dark [24]. VUF14862 operates in the opposite direction, its affinity increases to 1.7 nM in the cis configuration adopted in the dark [24].
Immunopharmacology Comments
H3 receptor expression is low in peripheral tissues, but high in neuronal mast cells and eosinophils. It is not currently considered an important target in allergy.
Cell Type Associations
Immuno Cell Type:  Mast cells
Cell Ontology Term:   mast cell (CL:0000097)
Comment:  In humans, H3R expression is restricted to brain mast cells.
References:  21
Immuno Cell Type:  Granulocytes
Cell Ontology Term:   eosinophil (CL:0000771)
Comment:  Eosinophils express all four histamine receptor subtypes.
