Application

(±)-Octopamine hydrochloride has been used:

for neurotransmitter assays[4]
to rupture the encased oocyte into the oviduct[5]
to specifically induce dramatic assembly of reflectin[6]
to identify central octopamine receptor-expressing neurons (OARNs) involved in aggression in Drosophila[7]
