Allergy symptoms are mostly caused by the release of histamine in response to allergens.  The binding of histamine to the extracellular portion of the '''H1 receptor''' triggers a structural change of the transmembrane portion, leading to a change in the C terminal area.  This c terminal region interacts with G proteins, leading to the activation of the Gq signalling pathway, which triggers allergy symptoms like itchy eyes and runny noses. Many allergy drugs are anti-histamines, in that they bind to the histamine receptor but do not cause the conformational change that leads to a response. See also [[Receptor]].

The structure of the H1 histamine receptor bound to an antihistamine, doxepin was published in 2011 <ref>PMID:21697825</ref>. A <scene name='78/784820/N_to_c_rainbow/1'>N-->C rainbow</scene> view colors the N terminus blue and the C terminus red, with the intervening segments paralleling the rainbow (blue, green, yellow, orange, red).  This image is oriented with the transmembrane section at the top and the cytosolic portion below. The <scene name='78/784820/Hydrophobic/2'>hydrophobic residues</scene> are shown in grey, while hydrophilic amino acids are shown in purple.

<scene name='78/784820/Doxepin/3'>Doxepin</scene> was originally made as a tricyclic antidepressant, but it also is a potent antihistamine <ref>PMID: 39202</ref> binds among the transmembrane alpha helices.  Binding is stabilized by a number of <scene name='78/784820/Interacting_amino_acids/4'>interactions with amino acids</scene>. Like many G protein coupled receptors, the bottom of the binding pocket contains a conserved <scene name='78/784820/Trp_428/1'>tryptophan</scene> residue. Interestingly, second generation antihistamines take advantage of an anion binding site formed by <scene name='78/784820/Lys/2'>two lysine residues</scene>; in this structure, they interact with a phosphate.
