Homologous desensitization
text:
Homologous desensitization occurs when a receptor decreases its response to an agonist at high concentration. It is a process through which, after prolonged agonist exposure, the receptor is uncoupled from its signaling cascade and thus the cellular effect of receptor activation is attenuated. Homologous desensitization is distinguished from heterologous desensitization, a process in which repeated stimulation of a receptor by an agonist results in desensitization of the stimulated receptor as w
