Histamine increases histidine uptake by basophils.

Abstract

Histamine, at high concentrations, enhanced the uptake of isotopic histidine by guinea-pig basophils. The effect was partially reversed by H1-, but not H2-, histamine receptor antagonists. These data suggest that histamine has a bioregulatory role in its own synthesis.
