Abstract:
mRNA encoding histamine H1 and H2 receptors were detected in the human nasal mucosa using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. The possibility of local release in connection with specific target receptors suggests a role for histamine in the regulation of vascular tone, glandular secretion and epithelial functions.
