Octopamine - Sensitive Adenylate Cyclase: Evidence for a Biological Role
of Octopamine in Nervous Tissue
An adenylate cyclase that is activated specifically by very low concentrations
of octopamine has been identified both in homogenates and in intact cells of the thoracic ganglia of an insect nervous system.
