agonist

Substance which binds to cell receptors normally responding to a naturally occurring substance and which produces an effect similar to that of the natural substance.

Note 1: A partial agonist activates a receptor but does not cause as much of a physiological change as does a full agonist.

Note 2: A co-agonist works together with other co-agonists to produce a desired effect.
