Octopamine signaling via OctαR is essential for a well-orchestrated climbing performance of adult Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract The biogenic amine octopamine (OA) orchestrates many behavioural processes in insects. OA mediates its function by binding to OA receptors belonging to the G protein-coupled receptors superfamily. Despite the potential relevance of OA, our knowledge about the role of each octopaminergic rec...
