agonist
Due to the lock-and-key principle, transmitters (messenger substances) can only bind to specific receptors. However, an agonist is chemically so similar to this transmitter that it can also bind to this receptor and thus trigger an identical response. Partial agonists, on the other hand, only trigger a weaker response, while inverse agonists bind to the receptor and inhibit its response.
