NS Reagents Histamine receptor H3 (HRH3) Antibody

HRH3 Antibody (Cat No: AB21-10137)

Histamine is an important messenger molecule and neuromodulator with four known G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), H1, H2, H3 and H4.

Histamine receptor H3 (HRH3) is a presynaptic autoreceptor that regulates histamine release from histaminergic neurons via negative feedback [1] as well as a heteroreceptor that regulates the release of other neurotransmitters [2,3,4]. It is also expressed postsynaptically in the modulation of dopamine signalling.

HRH3 is expressed predominantly in the cortex, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala and basal ganglia. Dysregulated central histaminergic signalling has been associated with a number of psychiatric disorders including sleep disorders, ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
