ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a lepidopteran octopamine/tyramine transporter. Nucleic acids encoding the transporter, and vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acids are provided. The invention further provides a recombinant octopamine/tyramine transporter, kits and compositions comprising the transporter, and methods of identifying agents that mediate the activity of the transporter.
