Bookmark or Share- Receptor activated solely by a synthetic ligand - WikipediaA receptor activated solely by a synthetic ligand (RASSL) or designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD), is a class of artificially engineered protein receptors used in the field of chemogenetics which are selectively activated by certain ligands.

- What are DREADDs? - News-Medical.netDREADDs allow G-protein-coupled receptors to respond to synthetic ligands and not their natural ligand, acetylcholine. They are activated by a molecule called clozapine-N-oxide (CNO) which is...
- DREADDs: Use and Application in Behavioral NeuroscienceIn brief, DREADDs involve the use of receptor proteins derived from targeted mutagenesis of endogenous G-protein coupled receptor DNA to yield synthetic receptors. These receptors are readily expressed in neuronal membranes, but lack an endogenous ligand to activate them.
