A requirement for the neuromodulators octopamine and tyramine in Drosophila melanogaster female sperm storage.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 20 Mar 2012

Abstract excerpt

Female sperm storage is common among organisms with internal fertilization. It is important for extended fertility and, in cases of multiple mating, for sperm competition. The physiological mechanisms by which females store and manage stored sperm are poorly understood. Here, we report that the biogenic amines tyramine (TA) and octopamine (OA) in Drosophila melanogaster females play essential roles in sperm...
