Octopamine modulates activity of neural networks in the honey bee antennal lobe [PDF]

, 2013
Neuronal plasticity allows an animal to respond to environmental changes by modulating its response to stimuli. In the honey bee (Apis mellifera), the biogenic amine octopamine plays a crucial role in appetitive odor learning, but little is known about ...

Synergic effects of tryptamine and octopamine on ophiuroid luminescence (Echinodermata).

, 2004
In ophiuroids, bioluminescence is under nervous control. Previous studies have shown that acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter triggering light emission in Amphipholis squamata and Amphiura filiformis.

Synthesis of N-alkylated octopamine derivatives and their interaction with octopamine receptor BmOAR1.

Journal of pesticide science
A series of N-alkylated octopamine derivatives was synthesized, and the structure-activity relationships of these derivatives with the silkworm Bombyx mori octopamine receptor BmOAR1 were evaluated using a secreted placental alkaline phosphatase reporter assay system.

Octopamine enhances dark-adaptation in Limulus ventral photoreceptors

, 1985
Limulus ventral photoreceptors receive synaptic input from fibers that emerge from the brain and that appear to use octopamine as a transmitter. Exogenous application of octopamine has been shown to increase levels of intracellular cAMP in ventral ...

The Role of Octopamine and Tyramine in the Adult Female Reproductive System of Rhodnius prolixus

, 2017
Octopamine and tyramine are neuroactive chemicals involved in many physiological processes acting as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and neurohormones. Octopamine and tyramine modulate reproduction in insects.

Interaction between dopamine and octopamine in Drosophila melanogaster brain [PDF]

, 2014
Dopamine and octopamine, a possible analogue of noradrenaline, are among a few neurotransmitters which play a crucial role in several physiological processes.

Cloning, localization, and permanent expression of a Drosophila octopamine receptor

, 1990
A cDNA for a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family was isolated from Drosophila using a probe derived from a human β2-adrenergic receptor cDNA.

Co-option of neurotransmitter signaling for inter-organismal communication in C. elegans

Nature Communications, 2019
Inter-organismal signaling is essential for animals to navigate and survive in their natural environment, yet is unclear how these chemical communication channels may have evolved.

Molecular and functional characterization of an octopamine receptor from honeybee (Apis mellifera) brain

, 2003
Biogenic amines and their receptors regulate and modulate many physiological and behavioural processes in animals. In vertebrates, octopamine is only found in trace amounts and its function as a true neurotransmitter is unclear.
