Difference between Inverse agonist and Ligand (biochemistry)

Inverse agonist vs. Ligand (biochemistry)

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. In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose.

Similarities between Inverse agonist and Ligand (biochemistry)

Inverse agonist and Ligand (biochemistry) have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Pharmacology, Receptor (biochemistry), Receptor antagonist.

Agonist

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

Pharmacology

Pharmacology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (from within body) molecule which exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism (sometimes the word pharmacon is used as a term to encompass these endogenous and exogenous bioactive species).

Receptor (biochemistry)

In biochemistry and pharmacology, a receptor is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell.

Receptor antagonist

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.
