The mast cell population is heterogeneous concerning its amine precursor and amine uptake. The immature cells incorporate amine precursors, but in more advanced stages of their maturation they take up only 5-HTP. The mature cells do not take up precursors only 5-HT. The thyroid gland and heart muscle mast cells take up the highest amount of 5-HT; this may be related with some specific function of the mast cells in these two organs. Neither of the mast cells would take up histamine, the compound is synthetised by the cells.
肥大细胞群体在其胺前体和胺摄取方面是异质性的。未成熟细胞摄取胺前体，但在其成熟的更高级阶段，它们仅摄取5-羟色胺酸。成熟细胞不摄取前体，只摄取5-羟色胺。甲状腺和心肌中的肥大细胞摄取的5-羟色胺量最高；这可能与这两个器官中肥大细胞的某些特定功能有关。肥大细胞都不摄取组胺，该化合物由细胞合成。
