H2 receptors are positively coupled to

cAMP production, which leads to activation of protein kinase A.[5] PKA functions to phosphorylate certain proteins, affecting their activity. The drug betazole is an example of a histamine
H2 receptor agonist.

Function

enterochromaffin-like cells, and neurons.[5] Its various actions are mediated by histamine receptors H1, H2, H3 and H4. The histamine receptor H2 belongs to the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors. It is an integral membrane protein and stimulates gastric acid secretion. It also regulates gastrointestinal motility and intestinal secretion and is thought to be involved in regulating cell growth and differentiation.[6] Histamine may play a role in penile erection.[7]

Tissue distribution

Histamine H2 receptors are expressed in the following tissues:

Peripheral tissues[5][8]


Central nervous system tissues[8]

Physiological responses

Activation of the H2 receptor results in the following physiological responses:
