Histamine molecule
Histamine molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of histamine. Atoms are colour-coded (carbon: dark grey, hydrogen: light grey, nitrogen: blue). Histamine is a biogenic amine involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut. It also acts as a neurotransmitter. Histamine triggers the inflammatory response as part of an immune response to foreign pathogens. It is produced by basophils and by mast cells found in nearby connective tissues

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a histamine molecule, depicted through a computer model. The atoms within the molecule are color-coded, with carbon represented by dark grey, hydrogen by light grey, and nitrogen by blue. Histamine is an essential biogenic amine that plays a crucial role in various physiological functions within our bodies. Primarily known for its involvement in local immune responses, histamine also regulates gut function and acts as a neurotransmitter. When foreign pathogens invade our system, histamine triggers the inflammatory response as part of our immune defense mechanism. It is produced by basophils and mast cells located in nearby connective tissues. The white background enhances the clarity of this molecular masterpiece while emphasizing its significance in biology and chemistry. With its space-filled molecular structure and precise arrangement of atoms, this image provides valuable insights into the biochemical composition of histamine. Not only does this photograph shed light on how allergies are triggered at a molecular level but it also highlights the vital role that histamine plays in maintaining immunity. This stunning visual representation serves as a reminder of how complex yet fascinating our biological systems truly are.
