Both Heparin and Histamine are released by basophils and mast cells. These cells are very similar, but mast cells are found on mucous membranes (connective tissue) and basophils are white blood cells that travel in the blood in the circulatory system.

Basophils are a type of leukocyte that release histamine in response to allergens or inflammatory signals. Histamine release from basophils contributes to allergic reactions and inflammation.
