It is produced by decarboxylation of an amino acid and the liver deactivates any that circulates through methylation and oxidation reactions. It causes phosphorylation of an intercellular adhesion protein, creating gaps between cells into which fluids can seep and may also cause leukocytes to release cytokines. Appearing after IgE brings a response from a mast cell, it also causes constriction of smooth muscle, so its release brings on asthma attacks when triggering substances appear. Its release is stimulated by antibodies against mosquito saliva and in cases of hives and it causes nerves to signal pain. For ten points, name this protein involved in allergic reactio
