Descripción

General description

Octopamine is a biogenic amine, which functions as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator and neurohormone.[1] It is used to regulate various behaviors, such as learning, memory and aggression.[2] Octopamine is present in mammalian tissues, human urine and invertebrates.[3]

Application

(±)-Octopamine hydrochloride has been used:

• for neurotransmitter assays[4]
• to rupture the encased oocyte into the oviduct[5]
• to specifically induce dramatic assembly of reflectin[6]
• to identify central octopamine receptor-expressing neurons (OARNs) involved in aggression in Drosophila[7]

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-adrenoceptor agonist; invertebrate neurotransmitter.

Caution

hygroscopic - handle under Argon
