<p><b>Functional selectivity</b> (or <b>agonist trafficking</b>, <b>biased agonism</b>, <b>biased signaling</b>, <b>ligand bias</b>, and <b>differential engagement</b>) is the <a href="Ligand_(biochemistry)" title="Ligand (biochemistry)">ligand</a>-dependent selectivity for certain <a href="Signal_transduction" title="Signal transduction">signal transduction</a> pathways relative to a reference ligand (often the endogenous hormone or peptide) at the same <a href="Receptor_(biochemistry)" title="Receptor (biochemistry)">receptor</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Functional selectivity can be present when a receptor has several possible signal transduction pathways.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Functional_vs._traditional_selectivity">Functional vs. traditional selectivity</h2></div>
<p>Functional selectivity has been proposed to broaden conventional definitions of <a href="Pharmacology" title="Pharmacology">pharmacology</a>.
</p><p><b>Traditional pharmacology</b> <a href="Postulate" class="mw-redirect" title="Postulate">posits</a> that a <a href="Ligand_(biochemistry)" title="Ligand (biochemistry)">ligand</a> can be either classified as an <a href="Agonist" title="Agonist">agonist</a> (full or partial), <a href="Receptor_antagonist" title="Receptor antagonist">antagonist</a> or more recently an <a href="Inverse_agonist" title="Inverse agonist">inverse agonist</a> through a specific receptor subtype, and that this characteristic will be consistent with all <a href="Effector_(biology)" title="Effector (biology)">effector</a> (<a href="Second_messenger_system" title="Second messenger system">second messenger</a>) systems coupled to that receptor. While this dogma has been the backbone of ligand-receptor interactions for decades now, more recent data indicates that this classic definition of ligand-protein associations does not hold true for a number of compounds; such compounds may be termed as <a href="Mixed_agonist-antagonist" class="mw-redirect" title="Mixed agonist-antagonist">mixed agonist-antagonists</a>.
</p><p><b>Functional selectivity</b> posits that a ligand may inherently produce a mix of the classic characteristics through a single receptor isoform depending on the effector pathway coupled to that receptor. For instance, a ligand can not easily be classified as an agonist or antagonist, because it can be a little of both, depending on its preferred signal transduction pathways. Thus, such ligands must instead be classified on the basis of their individual effects in the cell, instead of being either an agonist or antagonist to a receptor.
</p><p>These observations were made in a number of different <a href="Gene_expression#Expression_system" title="Gene expression">expression systems</a>, and therefore functional selectivity is not just an <a href="Epiphenomenon" title="Epiphenomenon">epiphenomenon</a> of one particular expression system.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Examples">Examples</h2></div>
<p>One notable example of functional selectivity occurs with the <a href="5-HT2A_receptor" title="5-HT2A receptor">5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor</a>, as well as the <a href="5-HT2C_receptor" title="5-HT2C receptor">5-HT<sub>2C</sub> receptor</a>. <a href="Serotonin" title="Serotonin">Serotonin</a>, the main endogenous ligand of <a href="5-HT_receptor" title="5-HT receptor">5-HT receptors</a>, is a functionally selective agonist at this receptor, activating <a href="Phospholipase_C" title="Phospholipase C">phospholipase C</a> (which leads to <a href="Inositol_triphosphate" class="mw-redirect" title="Inositol triphosphate">inositol triphosphate</a> accumulation), but does not activate <a href="Phospholipase_A2" title="Phospholipase A2">phospholipase A2</a>, which would result in <a href="Arachidonic_acid" title="Arachidonic acid">arachidonic acid</a> signaling. However, the other endogenous compound <a href="Dimethyltryptamine" title="Dimethyltryptamine">dimethyltryptamine</a> activates arachidonic acid signaling at the 5-HT<sub>2A</sub> receptor, as do many exogenous hallucinogens such as <a href="2%2C5-Dimethoxy-4-bromoamphetamine" title="2,5-Dimethoxy-4-bromoamphetamine">DOB</a> and <a href="Lysergic_acid_diethylamide" class="mw-redirect" title="Lysergic acid diethylamide">lysergic acid diethylamide</a> (LSD). Notably, LSD does not activate IP<sub>3</sub> signaling through this receptor to any significant extent. (Conversely, LSD, unlike serotonin, has negligible affinity for the 5-HT<sub>2C-VGV</sub> isoform, is unable to promote calcium release, and is, thus, functionally selective at 5-HT<sub>2C</sub>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) Oligomers, specifically 5-HT<sub>2A</sub>–<a href="Metabotropic_glutamate_receptor_2" title="Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2"><abbr title="metabotropic glutamate receptor 2">mGluR2</abbr></a><span class="sr-only" style="border: 0; clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0); clip-path: polygon(0px 0px, 0px 0px, 0px 0px); height: 1px; margin: -1px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; width: 1px; white-space: nowrap;">Tooltip metabotropic glutamate receptor 2</span> <a href="Heteromer" title="Heteromer">heteromers</a>, mediate this effect.
