Difference between Receptor modulator and Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor

Receptor modulator vs. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor

A receptor modulator, or receptor ligand, is a type of drug which binds to and modulates receptors. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of drugs that are typically used as antidepressants in the treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders.

Similarities between Receptor modulator and Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor

Receptor modulator and Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Ligand (biochemistry), Partial agonist, Receptor (biochemistry), Receptor antagonist.

Agonist

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

Ligand (biochemistry)

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

Partial agonist

In pharmacology, partial agonists are drugs that bind to and activate a given receptor, but have only partial efficacy at the receptor relative to a full agonist.

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.
