Difference between Agonist and Biological target

Agonist vs. Biological target

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response. A biological target is anything within a living organism to which some other entity (like an endogenous ligand or a drug) is directed and/or binds, resulting in a change in its behavior or function.

Similarities between Agonist and Biological target

Agonist and Biological target have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Hormone, Inverse agonist, Medication, Receptor (biochemistry), Receptor antagonist.

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.

Inverse agonist

In the field of pharmacology, an inverse agonist is an agent that binds to the same receptor as an agonist but induces a pharmacological response opposite to that agonist.
