Influence of mirtazapine on salivary cortisol in depressed patients [PDF]
Unlike other antidepressants, mirtazapine does not inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine or serotonin but acts as an antagonist at presynaptic alpha(2)-receptors, at postsynaptic 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, and at histaminergic H1 receptors. Furthermore,

The Histamine H4 Receptor: From Orphan to the Clinic
The histamine H4 receptor (H4R) was first noted as a sequence in genomic databases that had features of a G-protein coupled receptor. This putative receptor was found to bind histamine consistent with its homology to other histamine receptors and thus ...
