We also identified receptors that mediate these effects in placozoans. By using large-scale deorphanisation, we found that these monoamines are the most active for certain placozoan receptors. Phylogenies demonstrate that these receptors are orthologs of bilaterian melatonin receptors!!

In the most recent work of my laboratory, we demonstrate that placozoans can respond to endogenous monoamines. Here you can look at the effects of tyramine, which increases the speed of placozoans. Tryptamine and Phenethylamine also have effects.
