histamine H2 receptor; H2R; gastric receptor I (HRH2)
Function:
- H2 subclass of histamine receptors mediates gastric acid secretion
- also appears to regulate gastrointestinal motility & intestinal secretion
- possible role in regulating cell growth & differentiation
- activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase (Gs proteins) &, through a separate G protein-dependent mechanism, the phosphoinositide/ protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathway (putative)
Structure:
- belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
- membrane pocket formed by 7 transmembrane regions forms ligand binding site & provides for interaction of receptor with G protein
Compartment: cell membrane
Pharmacology:
- histamine-H2-receptor antagonists are used in treatment of gastirc acid disorders, i.e. dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, GERD
