receptor clustering (GO:0043113)

The receptor metabolic process that results in grouping of a set of receptors at a cellular location, often to amplify the sensitivity of a signaling response.

Specific

ciliary receptor clustering involved in smoothened signaling pathway (GO:0060830) neurotransmitter-gated ion channel clustering (GO:0072578) skeletal muscle acetylcholine-gated channel clustering (GO:0071340)
