LITERATURE
analysis
-
guinea-pig HNMT has 292 amino acid residues, its sequences are more similar to the human and pig sequences than to the mouse and rat sequences, respectively
degradation
-
higher HMT activity seems to be linked to reduced histamine catabolism, percentage of catabolized histamine is not correlated to individual mannitol fluxes and appears to be independent of paracellular permeability
