L-Histidine, identified by the symbol H, is an essential amino acid that is indispensable for its role as a building block of proteins, given its status among the 22 proteinogenic amino acids. This amino acid is foundational in the formation of histamine and is a key constituent of carnosine, contributing to numerous biochemical operations. It is characterized as a solid, soluble organic compound with a moderate level of acidity, and is widespread across various tissues and biofluids such as feces, urine, sweat, and blood, predominantly located within the cytoplasm and mitochondria of cells. L-Histidine is universal among eukaryotes, from yeast to humans, playing a role in the biosynthesis of compounds like L-carnosine and homocarnosine, and in the chelation of metal ions, which is vital for the transport of copper and the function of enzymes and other macromolecules. Its involvement in the metabolism into urocanic acid and its presence in several metabolic pathways highlight its extensive role in biochemical processes.
