Receptors are the sensing molecules or elements which communicate the signal from a ligand to the cell to elicit specific physiological change.
They are located in the cells, tissues and help to control all most all the body organs.
The ligand is the one which binds to the receptor and brings in conformational changes to produce a definite effect on the body’s physiology.
In general, most receptors have endogenous ligands or biomolecules which can trigger a response.
Most receptors are named based on their endogenous ligands like serotonin receptors, acetylcholine receptors, opioid receptors.
