Difference between Receptor antagonist and Selective receptor modulator

Receptor antagonist vs. Selective receptor modulator

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. In the field of pharmacology, a selective receptor modulator or SRM is a type of drug that has different effects in different tissues.

Similarities between Receptor antagonist and Selective receptor modulator

Receptor antagonist and Selective receptor modulator have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Drug, Pharmacology, Receptor antagonist.

Agonist

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

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.

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).
