Emedastine
Emedastine is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an antihistamine used in eye drops to treat allergic conjunctivitis. [Wikipedia]Emedastine is a relatively selective, histamine H1 antagonist. In vitro examinations of emedastines affinity for histamine receptors demonstrate relative selectivity for the H1 histamine receptor. In vivo studies have shown concentration-dependent inhibition of histamine-stimliated vascliar permeability in the conjunctiva following topical ocliar administration. Emedastine appears to be devoid of effects on adrenergic, dopaminergic and serotonin receptors.

Enzymes
- General function:
- Involved in G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway
- Specific function:
- In peripheral tissues, the H1 subclass of histamine receptors mediates the contraction of smooth muscles, increase in capillary permeability due to contraction of terminal venules, and catecholamine release from adrenal medulla, as well as mediating neurotransmission in the central nervous system
- Gene Name:
- HRH1
- Uniprot ID:
- P35367
- Molecular weight:
- 55783.6
