Octopamine hydrochloride is an invertebrate biogenic amine neurotransmitter, related to noradrenalin, that is an adrenoceptor (AR) agonist. Octopamine hydrochloride stimulates lipolysis in mammalian adipocytes via activation of beta3-AR receptors. Has dual effect on glucose transport in adipocytes: inhibits transport via beta3-AR receptor activation but stimulates transport when oxidised by MAO. Also activates human alpha2A-AR receptors, inhibiting subsequent cAMP production.
