第229回 遺伝子機能解析部門セミナー
(第350回 細胞工学研究会講演会)
日時:2017年5月8日(月)15:00-16:00
場所:島根大学生物資源科学部1号館203号室
演題:Insect biogenic amine receptors: from pharmacology to genetics
演者:Jia Huang (Institute of Insect Sciences, Zhejiang University, P.R. China)
In vertebrates, biogenic amines such as dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine and norepinephrine act physiologically as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and neurohormones to regulate many important processes. In contrast, norepinephrine and epinephrine do not appear to be present in insects, as they lack dopamine β-hydroxylase that converts dopamine to norepinephrine. In fact, their role is fulfilled by their invertebrate counterparts, the monoamines tyramine and octopamine.
The insect biogenic amines carry out many of the physiological roles such as reproduction, development, growth, circadian rhythms, endocrine secretion, and behaviors. (つづく)
