title: Expression analysis of the histamine H(3) receptor in developing rat tissues.
abstract: Endogenous histamine is involved in tissue growth and cell proliferation. In accordance with a putative function of the H(3) receptor in this mitogenic effect, we show that H(3)-receptor mRNAs are expressed together with those of the histamine-synthesizing enzyme in the embryonic liver and adipose tissue, and in various epithelia. Finally, we show that activation of recombinant H(3) receptors enhances MAP kinase activity.
