H₂ receptors are positively coupled to adenylate cyclase via G_s. It is a potent stimulant of cAMP production, which leads to activation of protein kinase A. PKA functions to phosphorylate certain proteins, affecting their activity. The drug betazole is an example of a histamine H₂ receptor agonist.
