In this lecture, EKG is going to cover the four main types of receptor proteins: Ligand-gated ion channels, G-protein-coupled receptors, Kinase-linked and related receptors, and nuclear receptors. We’ll describe each receptor’s structure and function and identify key examples of drugs that interact with these receptors.
In the previous lecture, we introduced the concept of pharmacodynamics, which is the study of how drugs interact with the body and produce their effects, or simply what the drug does to the body. Receptors are one of the four main types of drug targets.
