An octopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase that is insensitive to stimulation by dopamine (DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), was studied in a homogenized nerve cord preparation of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria. The enzyme complex is similar to catecholamine-sensitive cyclases from mammal...
