| - | + | In general, receptors for small molecule neurotransmitters such as serotonin will have only one '''endogenous agonist''', but often have many different receptor subtypes (''e.g.'' 13 [[5-hydroxytryptamine receptor|different receptors for serotonin]]). On the other hand, neuropeptide receptors (e.g. [[opioid receptors]]) tend to have fewer subtypes, but may have several different endogenous agonists. This allows for a high degree of complexity in the body's signalling system, with different tissues often showing quite distinct responses to a particular ligand. | |
