Characterization of Drosophila tyramine beta-hydroxylase gene and isolation of mutant flies lacking octopamine.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 15 Jun 1996

Monastirioti M, Linn C E, White K

Abstract excerpt

Octopamine is likely to be an important neuroactive molecule in invertebrates. Here we report the molecular cloning of the Drosophila melanogaster gene, which encodes tyramine beta-hydroxylase (TBH), the enzyme that catalyzes the last step in octopamine biosynthesis. The deduced amino acid sequen...
