The H1 receptor is a type of histamine receptor that is activated by the neurotransmitter histamine. Histamine is a chemical that is released by immune cells in response to certain stimuli, and it plays a role in many physiological processes, including the inflammatory response, gastric acid secretion, and smooth muscle contraction. H1 receptors are found in many tissues throughout the body, including the brain, skin, and gastrointestinal tract.
H1 receptor antagonists, also known as H1 blockers or antihistamines, are drugs that block the action of histamine at H1 receptors. These drugs are commonly used to treat allergies, as they can reduce symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and swelling.
