Histamine receptors have proven to be promising drug targets in the treatment of a variety of diseases, including hay fever, gastric ulcers, inflammatory and neuropathological diseases. In this chapter the molecular aspects of histamine receptors are described, including expression profile, intracellular signaling, and how histamine receptor activity can be attenuated by ligands targeting the histamine receptor binding sites.
