Abstract
Histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) expressed in the epithelial and endothelial cells of the airways is a principal enzyme degrading histamine in the body. This brief review summarizes the recent advances in molecular biology related to the pathophysiological role of HMT in regulating airway functions.
