The H4 histamine receptor was first published by Nguyen et al in March of 2001, who also published the gene encoded it in a search of the GenBank databases.[1] Like the other three histamine receptors, it is also a G protein-coupled receptor.

[edit] Location
H4 is highly expressed in bone marrow and white blood cells and regulates zymosan-induced neutrophil release from bone marrow and subsequent infiltration in the pleurisy model along with L-selectin.[2] It is also expressed in the colon, liver, lung, small intestine, spleen, testes, thymus, tonsils, and trachea.[3]
[edit] Functions
They have been shown to mediate mast cell chemotaxis.[4] ...and more
