Trace amines are endogenous compounds classically regarded as comprising β-
phenylethyalmine, p-tyramine, tryptamine, p-octopamine, and some of their metabolites …

▪ Abstract Octopamine (OA) and tyramine (TA) are the invertebrate counterparts of the
vertebrate adrenergic transmitters. They are decarboxylation products of the amino acid …

Tyramine, β-phenylethylamine, tryptamine, and octopamine are biogenic amines present in
trace levels in mammalian nervous systems. Although some “trace amines” have clearly …

Octopamine (OA), a biogenic monoamine structurally related to noradrenaline, acts as a
neurohormone, a neuromodulator and a neurotransmitter in invertebrates. It is present in …

In the central nervous system (CNS) of both vertebrates and invertebrates, biogenic amines
are important neuroactive molecules. Physiologically, they can act as neurotransmitters …

There is an on-going need for the discovery and development of new pesticides due to the
loss of existing products through the continuing development of resistance, the desire for …

Publisher Summary This chapter takes a view of biogenic amines in the insect nervous
system and to assess critically the evidence for their roles as neurotransmitters …

Classical biogenic amines (adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin and histamine)
interact with specific families of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs). The term 'trace …

Octopamine (OCT) belongs to a group of compounds known as biogenic amines. OCT, a
monohydroxylic analog of norepinephrine, is found in both vertebrate and invertebrate …

The trace amines are a structurally related group of amines and their isomers synthesized in
mammalian brain and peripheral nervous tissues. They are closely associated metabolically …
