Histamine

metabolite

Histamine dampens platelet activation and thromboinflammation, protecting against coronary microthrombosis in acute MI.

Pathway placement

Cascade stepPlatelet adhesion & activation

Confidencemedium

RationaleMast-cell/basophil mediator; antiplatelet and endothelial-protective effects post-MI.

Also acts inEndothelial activation/erosion

Druggability

Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).
