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.

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.
