Difference between Adrenaline and Receptor antagonist

Adrenaline vs. Receptor antagonist

Adrenaline, also known as adrenalin or epinephrine, is a hormone, neurotransmitter, and medication. 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 Adrenaline and Receptor antagonist

Adrenaline and Receptor antagonist have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenergic receptor, Agonist, Beta blocker, Hormone, Norepinephrine, Vasodilation.

Adrenergic receptor

The adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline).

Agonist

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

Beta blocker

Beta blockers, also written β-blockers, are a class of medications that are particularly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack (myocardial infarction) after a first heart attack (secondary prevention).

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.
