Graphical Abstract

Caption

In Drosophila, octopamine signaling increases larval locomotor speed and synaptic bouton numbers at neuromuscular junctions under food deprivation conditions. We found that a glypican (Dally-like), the expression of which is controlled by octopamine signaling, regulates this process by modulating the activity of GluRIIA-mediated non-canonical BMP pathway.
