Distinct octopamine cell population residing in the CNS abdominal ganglion controls ovulation in Drosophila melanogaster.

Developmental biology - 1 Dec 2003

Monastirioti Maria

Abstract excerpt

Octopamine is an important neuroactive substance that modulates several physiological functions and behaviors of invertebrate species. Its biosynthesis involves two steps, one of which is catalyzed by Tyramine beta-hydroxylase enzyme (TBH). The Tbetah gene has been previously cloned from Drosophila melanogaster, and null mutations have been generated resulting in octopamine-less flies that show profound female...
