Histamine H2-binding on guinea pig cerebral cortex. 1986

G J Sterk, and M W van der Schaar, and B Rademaker, and H van der Goot, and H Timmerman

The Kd-values of some histamine H2-active compounds, obtained from radio-ligand-binding studies on a homogenate of the guinea-pig cerebral cortex with 3H-tiotidine as the labelled H2-ligand, were compared with the pA2/pD2-value of these compounds on the guinea-pig right atrium and guinea-pig isolated gastric fundus. A good correlation was found between the pKd of the H2-antagonists and their pA2 on the guinea-pig right atrium. A much poorer correlation however was obtained between the pKd of the agonists on the cerebral cortex and their pD2-values on the guinea-pig right atrium and the gastric fundus. This poor correlation between true affinity and H2-activity of the agonists might be explained by spare receptors as a much better correlation was obtained between pKd and pD2 of partial agonists.

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
D011968 Receptors, Histamine Cell-surface proteins that bind histamine and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Histamine receptors are widespread in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues. Three types have been recognized and designated H1, H2, and H3. They differ in pharmacology, distribution, and mode of action. Histamine Binding Sites,Histamine Receptors,Histamine Receptor,Binding Sites, Histamine,Receptor, Histamine,Sites, Histamine Binding
D011970 Receptors, Histamine H2 A class of histamine receptors discriminated by their pharmacology and mode of action. Histamine H2 receptors act via G-proteins to stimulate ADENYLYL CYCLASES. Among the many responses mediated by these receptors are gastric acid secretion, smooth muscle relaxation, inotropic and chronotropic effects on heart muscle, and inhibition of lymphocyte function.
