Effect of histamine on cyclic AMP levels in the submandibular gland. 1981

K Saeki, and S Seo, and M Murakami, and I Ikehara

Histamine and 4-methylhistamine increased on cyclic AMP level in chopped guinea-pig submandibular glands. 4-Methylhistamine was more active than histamine. 2-(2-Pyridyl)ethylamine was less active than histamine or almost inactive. Metiamide markedly antagonized the histamine-induced cyclic AMP increase but mepyramine had no inhibitory effect on this increase. These results suggest that there are H2-receptors which mediate the cyclic AMP response to histamine in the guinea-pig submandibular gland.

D006632	Histamine	An amine derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of HISTIDINE. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, a vasodilator, and also a centrally acting neurotransmitter.	Ceplene,Histamine Dihydrochloride,Histamine Hydrochloride,Peremin
D000242	Cyclic AMP	An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013363	Submandibular Gland	One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.
