Antagonist Comments
Nizatidine is a H2 antagonist clinically in use to block histamine-induced gastric acid secretion [38].
Famotidine is also a selective H2 antagonist. The only affinity data, in free access journals, found to date relates to the canine H2 receptor, where famotidine has an IC50 of 26.3nM [19].
Immunopharmacology Comments
Histamine action via the H2 receptor inhibits eosinophil, mast cell and neutrophil chemotaxis, IL-12 production by dendritic cells and also suppresses Th2 cells and cytokine formation. In airway inflammation the H2 receptor mediates bronchial smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation and mucus production [43].
Cell Type Associations
Immuno Cell Type:  Granulocytes

Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
H2 receptor knockout mice develop normally with normal basal gastric acid levels. However they exhibit hypertrophy of gastric mucosa and an increase in the number of parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells. Neither histamine nor gastrin stimulated gastric acid secretion in the knockout mice.
