Receptor antagonism involves the binding of an antagonist to a receptor, blocking or dampening a biological response by preventing an agonist from activating the receptor. This mechanism is crucial in pharmacology for modulating physiological responses and treating conditions by inhibiting overactive receptor pathways.
