43982 Q7JQF1 OAMB_DROME Octopamine receptor Oamb (Octopamine receptor in mushroom bodies) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Viable with no gross anatomical defects and females display normal courtship and copulation but are impaired in ovulation (PubMed:14623240). Many mature eggs are retained in the ovaries with mutant females laying significantly fewer eggs and taking much longer to ovulate an egg (PubMed:14623240, PubMed:26473732). Increased sleep with longer sleep bouts during the night and a greater number of sleep bouts during the day (PubMed:20223202). Severely impaired learning in appetitive olfactory conditioning which tests the capacity to learn and remember the odor associated with a sugar reward (PubMed:23345239). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14623240, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20223202, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23345239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26473732}.
