Ligand–receptor binding is a mechanism used by biological systems to initiate, propagate, or complete many different functional processes. A meaningful receptor–ligand interaction leads to a physiological response. For example, when glucagon binds to its receptor on adipocytes, the production of fatty acids by hydrolysis of triacylglycerols is enhanced.
