Difference between 5-HT1A receptor and Receptor antagonist

5-HT1A receptor vs. Receptor antagonist

The serotonin 1A receptor (or 5-HT1A receptor) is a subtype of serotonin receptor (5-HT receptor) that binds the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT). A receptor antagonist is a type of receptor ligand or drug that blocks or dampens a biological response by binding to and blocking a receptor rather than activating it like an agonist.

Similarities between 5-HT1A receptor and Receptor antagonist

5-HT1A receptor and Receptor antagonist have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Alzheimer's disease, Analgesic, Drug, Enzyme inhibitor, Hormone, Norepinephrine, Receptor (biochemistry), Receptor antagonist, Vasodilation.

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time.

Drug

A drug is any substance (other than food that provides nutritional support) that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a temporary physiological (and often psychological) change in the body.

Hormone

A hormone (from the Greek participle “ὁρμῶ”, "to set in motion, urge on") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour.

Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine (NE), also called noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenalin, is an organic chemical in the catecholamine family that functions in the brain and body as a hormone and neurotransmitter.
