The selective, non-covalent, often stoichiometric, interaction of a molecule with one or more specific sites on another molecule. Combining with acetylcholine to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with a neurotransmitter to initiate a change in cell activity. Combining with benzodiazepines, a class of drugs with hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsive, amnestic and myorelaxant properties, to initiate a change in cell activity. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a neurotransmitter, any chemical substance that is capable of transmitting (or inhibiting the transmission of) a nerve impulse from a neuron to another cell. Combining with an extracellular or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell activity. Mediates the transfer of a signal from the outside to the inside of a cell by means other than the introduction of the signal molecule itself into the cell. Combining with a neuropeptide to initiate a change in cell activity.
