Description
Definition: It is defined as a macro-molecule or binding site located on cell surface or inside the effector cell that serves to recognize the signal molecule/drug and initiate the response to it, but itself has no other function, e.g. G-protein coupled receptor.
Agonist: An agent which activates a receptor to produce an effect similar to a that of the physiological signal molecule, e.g. Muscarine and Nicotine
Antagonist: an agent which prevents the action of an agonist on a receptor or the subsequent response, but does not have an effect of its own, e.g. atropine and muscarine.
Inverse agonist: an agent which activates receptors to produce an effect in the opposite direction to that of the agonist, e.g. DMCM in BDZ receptors
Partial agonist: An agent which activates a receptor to produce submaximal effect but antagonizes the action of a full agonist, e.g. opioids
Ligand: any molecule which attaches selectively to particular receptors or sites (only binding or affinity but no functional change).
