Agonist muscles and antagonist muscles are muscles that cause or inhibit a movement. [5] Agonist muscles are also called prime movers since they produce most of the force, and control of an action. [6] Agonists cause a movement to occur through their own activation. [7]
This is a list of miscellaneous agonists of the serotonin receptor subtype 5-HT 2A (and other 5-HT 2 subtypes to a varying extent) that fall outside the common structural classes.
Agonist vs. antagonist. In pharmacology the term agonist-antagonist or mixed agonist/antagonist is used to refer to a drug which under some conditions behaves as an agonist (a substance that fully activates the receptor that it binds to) while under other conditions, behaves as an antagonist (a substance that binds to a receptor but does not activate and can block the activity of other agonists).
A co-agonist works with other co-agonists to produce the desired effect together. NMDA receptor activation requires the binding of both glutamate, glycine and D-serine co-agonists. Calcium can also act as a co-agonist at the IP3 receptor. A selective agonist is selective for a specific type of receptor. E.g.
Muscle coactivation occurs when agonist and antagonist muscles (or synergist muscles) surrounding a joint contract simultaneously to provide joint stability, [1] [2] and is suggested to depend crucially on supraspinal processes involved in the control of movement. [3]
An agonist that can only partially activate the physiological response is called a partial agonist. In this example, the concentration at which the full agonist (red curve) can half-maximally activate the receptor is about 5 x 10 −9 Molar (nM = nanomolar). Two ligands with different receptor binding affinity.
