Abstract
The role of histamine in the control of general and local homeostasis is a recent discovery which is undergoing further investigation. The physiological significance of histamine-degrading enzymes as well as possible functions of histamine metabolites are also being reconsidered. The function of histaminedegrading enzymes in the elimination of histamine from its receptor-binding sites remains a topic for further study.
