Selective inhibition of adenylyl cyclase by octopamine via a human cloned alpha 2A-adrenoceptor.

Br. J. Pharmacol. 122 , 191-198, (1997)

1. In this study we have compared the abilities of the enantiomers of the structural isomers of the phenolamines, octopamine and synephrine, and the catecholamines, noradrenaline and adrenaline, to couple selectively a human cloned alpha 2A-adrenoceptor, stab...

Octopamine in invertebrates.

Prog. Neurobiol. 59 , 533, (1999)

Octopamine (OA), a biogenic monoamine structurally related to noradrenaline, acts as a neurohormone, a neuromodulator and a neurotransmitter in invertebrates. It is present in relatively high concentrations in neuronal as well as in non-neuronal tissues of mo...

Octopamine receptors in the honey bee and locust nervous system: pharmacological similarities between homologous receptors of distantly related species.

Br. J. Pharmacol. 130 , 587-594, (2000)

Honey bees are perhaps the most versatile models to study the cellular and pharmacological basis underlying behaviours ranging from learning and memory to sociobiology. For both aspects octopamine (OA) is known to play a vital role. The neuronal octopamine re...
