Octopamine and tyramine signalling in Aedes aegypti: Molecular characterization and insight into potential physiological roles
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "PLOS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0281917
Abstract: In insects, the biogenic amines octopamine (OA) and tyramine (TA) are involved in controlling several physiological and behavioural processes. OA and TA act as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators or neurohormones, performing their functions by binding to specific… read more here.
