Receptors are the sensing molecules or elements which communicate the signal from a ligand to the cell to elicit specific physiological change.
Types of receptors
1.Silent receptors
2.Orphan receptors
Silent receptors: Silent receptors are those receptors to which ligands bind with high affinity, but interestingly no pharmacological effect is produced.
Orphan receptors: These are the receptors which do not have well defined endogenous ligands. But they can produce a response when other ligands bind to them. In other words, their actual endogenous ligands have not been discovered yet. Once the endogenous ligand is identified, they will be given a specific name.
